Same here. I used it for probably a week. Then nothing. Same with buzz actually. C'mon google! Release some real important things, like Quake in the Browser! oh wait...]]>May 19th 2010 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/
I use Wave a lot for collaboration. Haven't experienced the lag issues that you noted.

Wave is a solid tool with some pretty major issues still. My guess is that the technology behind Wave will be useful in the future, but the app itself will fade off into the sunset. ]]>May 19th 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/May 19th 2010 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/May 19th 2010 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/May 19th 2010 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/the lag becomes unbearable after a wave hits 30 or so blips (what they call entries/posts). after that it's easier to start a new wave or delete all old information (which essentially ruins the continuity and the point of using wave).

until they can fix the lag issue it's too frustrating to use for extended conversations.]]>May 19th 2010 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/May 19th 2010 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/same as you, it works wonderfully for me

the only problem i have is that only a very select few friends use it, i mean, not many people see the need for it
either way, i love wave, though, i want real time spelling check, and translation!! last time i went on these still hadnt been implemented :'(

damn it!! *logs onto wave*]]>May 19th 2010 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/I seethis being invaluable during my Junior year. ]]>May 19th 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/google-wave-opens-doors-to-public-asks-old-friends-for-new-chan/

Are you guys dumb? Watch the live feed, I've been watching it for the last 30 minutes, it's boring as fudge! If you follow tech bloggers on twitter, they are pretty much singing the same tune.

Compare that to any Apple event and you would find all editors breathlessly liveblogging about what color T-shirt Steve J. is wearing (black, again), shoes (New Balance, again), coffee beans stuck to his half-shaven straggly beard (Peets, again), any trivial iProduct being launched (Revolutionary and Magical, again).
