biggest pain for me now is the paste fuction.

It doesn’t work very good and always inserts a bunch of extra lines so I end up having to go back in and edit it.

The archive function I believe should take the item out of the inbox and put it in an archived folder but it doesn’t. Actually I’m not sure what it does but it doesn’t remove it from the inbox so to get things out of there you are forced to delete them. Once again being able to drag and drop waves to other folders or into other communications would work well for archive purposes however it doesn’t work that way.

So far so Good, however there are a few things that they really need to fix.

1. I can only paste text into the new wave window. It really needs to allow me to copy and paste images like I can in outlook. This is very beneficial when I’m talking to developers and need to include screen shots.

2. a secondary way to prioritize waves. or give one preference over another. right now the only way to sort is based on last comment date. We need a way to put something as priority over the other waves.

3. Ability to drag and drop waves, especially under other waves. We have had a few times where two people create different waves for the same things. We then have 2 conversations going and it gets confusing. you can put a link from one wave to another but they both keep going on their own. it would be nice to be able to drag it in and then it would be in there permanently so only one would get updated from then on.

Other than that it seems to be quite a good program. I’ve crashed it a couple times but not a big deal there. I got my invite from someone else and now after using it I have 8 invites that I can spread around so that will help to get people going on it.
I like having everything located in one place and its easy to keep up on things.

I’m started using Google wave today and so far I’m happy with it.
We are going to use it at work as a collaboration tool. Mainly for myself, our product designers, and purchasers so we can track new products and keep informed about how things are going.

So far it works good, I’ll have more info as I use it on a daily basis.

First thing that I think they need to approve is sorting and organizing the waves. From what I can see so far the only way to sort them is by date of last posting.

One thing I like is I can put them waves into folders and color code them which is nice and makes it easy to tell which project it is on.
