In theory, it could bring everything together nicely in the one app, doing away with the need for conference calls, IM, etc. The copywriting/proofreading example you give is a good one. Another example would be Fagan inspections/quality reviews. If you still have invites going spare, I wouldn't mind one. ;-P I can see how Google Wave would be highly beneficial for collaborative projects, especially in a distributed team.

In a way, I'm not surprised that there are speed issues. After all, Wave is still (technically) a beta product, so it's still in development. Now, I know most people will think: "How the hell can Google have speed issues?!" It's most likely that because Wave is still so new that it isn't fully optimized, so it's not making the most of Google's infrastructure. That's an educated guess, but I could be wrong. I don't see it being a country-wide broadband contention issue — as deliciously ironic as that would be. Hi Chris, thanks for the comment!

What I have found though is that large waves with many participants (like the Digital Britain wave) became very sluggish. I don't know why, but as the wave gets bigger it goes slower, and people get fed up with waiting for it to load. It could be a problem with the servers? Or maybe it is a symbol of the contended copper infrastructure in the UK? I feel that until this problem is addressed Wave will not get the support to make it a killer app. Although after saying that I and many more are making good use of it! We love it.
