What usually happens in those cases is it's trying to do too much and you almost get that feeling when you start with Wave. I was lost and saying to myself...well why would I want to switch to this?
The integration they're pushing is for wave to go everywhere. From what I gathered in the 8 minute geeky video is basically once wave goes public you'll be able to throw a "wave" into any site. Like commenting on an blog. Instead of a blog...being a blog (WP, etc) it's now a public "Wave" and people can comment on it and you'll be updated instantly on your inbox. This means threads can be replaced by "waves". Twitter? Facebook? Same thing.
It also pretty much merges e-mail and IM together. Do you ever have separated conversations with people via e-mail and chat?
- When they're online you chat with them on your client.
- When they're not there you just e-mail them.
But it's all disjointed. Maybe you sent them a picture, then they reply to you via IM. And it goes back and forth. One day you're looking for something they said, maybe they said it on chat, maybe on e-mail or even facebook. With waves it's all there as one wave. If they're online they'll see what you're typing and reply instantly like IM. If you sent them a funny picture, they'll reply to that picture individually.
I mean if people really latch onto this, Wave can replace any online communication/collaboration/networking tool.
ANyways if anyone bothered to read that and was not confused pat yourself on the back.

So basically it is a consolidated networking tool? Where users use one source rather than multiple (facebook/im/ etc etc).
