I liked what I saw in Google wave…the freshness, the openness, integration, real time responses and blah blah
I’ll grab it with both ends……..most of us may agree on that.
But…..and thats a big one, Will a CTO of a big company gonna have same wavelength as mine. I am sure the answer is no. Ofcourse there may be exceptions but Google wave looks like iGoogle’s new avataar.
Enterprise Portals arena are different from Web Portals. Enterprise world loves a mix of soft and hard rock with a tilt towards softer side. Some flexibility and more control. Though Sharepoint has been lapped up by everyone for its super – easy GUI which later becomes the headache. Story with almost everyone who don’t implement it without proper planning and governance.
I have a strong feeling that Google wave will face similar issues if implemented at an Enterprise level.
For individuals who want to have a blast- “Go ahead!! surf on the Google Wave”

In my view, the core concept of SharePoint is flat list /folders. They are powerful shared Excel-like chunks of information. Wave is going to provide collaboration threads. I don’t think this is “apple to apple” comparison, but can imaging similarity in how to share information.
