Google Wave: invited

Ok, thanks to Jon, I have a Google Wave account. So far, I'm a little baffled.

My friend, Dave, summed up the stutter-start with Wave (on Google Wave):

Hmmmm. There's a lot of interesting and useful tech here. Now all I need is an idea big enough for it to fit into. you know, a reason to use it.

I can see the business application easily, but the social media-esque applications are missing me, especially with limited choice of people to talk to.

Furthermore, and I think this is my central dromedary hump, I have a mindset that works well with unbroken streams of time. The regular Internet is a pretty hefty distraction as is, but talkative friends whose work styles differ from mine, or whose jobs don't require as much focus, can wreck an afternoon.

I'm still very interested in Google Wave. I particularly like the idea of using it for event planning with large groups of people. I can also envision a robust PBEM DnD game. I plan to make time to fiddle with it in the upcoming weeks.
