Google Wave Blog at Waverful : The Wonderful (Waverful) World of Google Wave
We think that Google Wave will be such a blockbuster application down the road that we have created a special blog, WAVERFUL, for the Wonderful World of Google Wave.
The main problem right now, based upon what we have seen elsewhere - we do not have our own personal copy of Google Wave yet (you can send us an invite, thank you), is the problem of permissions.
Obviously, for "serious" Google Wave uses, each Google Wave originator, or someone else authorized by that originator, will have to be in charge of granting permissions to access a Google Wave designed for a given public. You can not just send things out into the public domain - there are simply too many self-serving and nutty things that people are otherwise tempted to do - and, judging by experience - do do, if there is not some kind of authorizing moderator inbetween.
Modern institutions all work with hierarchies, indeed, multiple hierarchies - just look at your own work place - and there is a reason for this, because experience shows that it just does not work any other way, given the vagaries of human nature.
Google Wave will be no different.
