Right after I registered and got a feel for it, I tried using it for drafting blog posts here and making to-do lists for other things. What I wound up doing was stopping and asking myself why i wasn't using a standard word-processor? Unless you have others involved, your probably better off sticking to applications such as EverNote or MS Word. Mike,

Let me rephrase, anything other than LIVE collaborating is kind of useless. I totally agree that for you guys to send drafts to one another, Wave is a perfect tool! Live edits can make everything go a lot faster. I just dont see the need for Wave for normal users who do not have multi-user blogs or dont collaborate on anything. I believe that Wave will be regulated to the business sector for the most usefulness. Google Voice hasnt impressed me either! Is it really too hard to give someone your home and cell number, or even just your cell number? If you have more than 2 home numbers to be reached on, you need professional help for your addiction :) Mike I think for the items you listed it will work out well, but anything other than collaborating on an idea is kind of useless it seems.
