Wisdom of Twitter: Wave's impact on enterprise collab

Wondering how Google Wave will impact the enterprise collaboration market? Look no further than the great collected wisdom of Twitter. Given that X equals Lotus Notes, Microsoft Sharepoint or Microsoft Exchange we have:

  • #googlewave will be major competition for X
  • #googlewave will drive positive change in X
  • #googlewave is X 2.0
  • #googlewave is X done right
  • #googlewave is X for 2009
  • #googlewave is X for 2010
  • #googlewave looks like X on the web
  • #googlewave is what X never became
  • #googlewave is the final nail in the coffin of X
  • #googlewave will destroy X
  • #googlewave will kill X, death to X!
  • #googlewave flatters X by imitation
  • #googlewave is just hosted version of X
  • #googlewave is a custom version of X, good for SEO

How can industry analysts survive with people giving away this stuff for free?

Yeah, I'm just not too sure about Wave. It really seems like it could multiply, not manage, comms noise we deal with day to day right now. The demo is interesting, but it doesn't immediately sell me. Most of the stuff they show is close-coupled to Google products, and the fact of the matter is NO BODY uses Google Docs in the business world, outside of the nerdier people in the IT groups. BTW, I can trump all the stupid with this one: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2009/05/30/google-wave-forces-out-silverlight-flash-ria-platforms.aspx Wave will be major competition for SILVERLIGHT and FLEX!!!
