[QUOTE="weem, post: 4996478, member: 9470"] Yea, I would agree with that. I can see it being a great tool for collaborative projects such as coop world building, where there could be a wave for specific areas of focus - for example, a wave to discuss a specific race, or a specific deity - but one wave for everything would be a bit much. Outside of RPG's I see a ton of potential. Not that there isn't potential for table-top RPG's, there really is, but it's hard for me to imagine them all as I have never played any online before. I think when it is released and there are a ton of widgets out there, that's when it is going to shine. For example, I was explaining to someone that I imagine myself going to wave when i first get online... - I would look through waves about various topics i have been interested, respond to them. - I would update my various social profiles there - facebook, twitter etc. - I would update some of my websites content from there, including posting to a few different blogs, updating some pictures etc. I also feel this could replace email to an extent. If everyone (at least everyone you deal with at work, outside of work etc) that you currently exchanged email with would use wave instead, it could work for sure - especially with a bit more polish. It was hard for me to imagine not using Outlook and using waves instead, until i imagined not having anything to use for email except wave... then I could see that yes, it does what I need in that regard and what I was getting stuck on was in trying to imagine wave as Outlook 2010 or something - but the reality is I don't need a new outlook, or any other program. Wave does what they do for the most part, and the things it may not do are things that don't matter to me at this point. I think they key thing to remember when thinking about their "how we would do email now" is to not get hung up on what you know about email and instead to imagine or ask yourself, does this accomplish the tasks that email does in a similar or better way. The answer will be different depending on your own experiences, what you use it for, how often etc, but for me, the answer is yes. And when you combine that with the other things it will be used for (by me, mentioned above) it becomes that much better because it is right there with everything else. So yea, it has that potential of being the one place you go for the things you spend most of your time doing online - at least for most of the things I do online. I'm looking forward to seeing how it is doing a year or two from now. Maybe it's shelved and almost forgotten (I doubt it of course), or maybe it is the new 'real' Home Page - the place you start at when you get online, and maybe the only place you go most of the time. I'm sure it will fall somewhere in-between there, but so far I'm pretty excited about the potential ;) [/QUOTE]
