Everyone knows that Google wave is pretty hard to explain and complicated to understand. It a tool for communication and collaboration on the web, which is great. Makes life easier.

Don’t conflate Wave the protocol with Wave the Google Client or Wave the Google Service. It is the client that gives the user experience. Wave the protocol is polyglot, in the sense that it supports many styles of user interaction but requires no one in particular. I think a Google Wave client could be written that mimics an email client, or a forum interface, or an instant messenger chat client, or perhaps any of those with a menu option to switch perspectives. Someone may already be working on that right now for that matter, given that the server and protocol are open sourced and the current client is AJAX based.

Google Wave just launched and it is still in its “By Invitation Only” stage, which was the case with Gmail when it first entered the market. I believe that until it exits this stage, full classroom collaboration will not happen because the limitations posed by only giving a few invitations at a time is leading to the exclusion of many interested parties.

You are correct that it may not revolutionize learning, but I doubt it is a flop. Besides, Google hates to flop, so I expect this will take off eventually.

I should say I have not used Wave myself, but am waiting for “a friend of a friend” to invite me.

Besides comparing it to the beige of Skype, I do not see any other free collaboration software that promises to do so much. We shall wait and see.

Give it time. When I first started using it I couldn’t quite get what I should do with it. Then I found a wave on something I was interested in and joined in. Then I realized I was talking to someone who did not speak English, and I did not speak their language, and yet there we were talking.

And then I got it.
