I’ve had a Google Wave account for a little while now and have tried to use it more and more. The challenge has been that I haven’t had a lot of other people I know and work with on things regularly that also has a Google Wave account.
The broadest usage I’ve enjoyed has been as a friend and I have been collaborating on a website we’re both working on together. It’s really helped us as we’ve shared information and ideas with each other. Sure that could be done via other methods, but having everything there with history of what we’ve said to each other in a conversational string is nice.
I’ve now finally been given the ability to invite other people to begin using Google Wave for themselves.
I just used some of those invites to send to a group of friends of mine that work together with each other in a church ministry setting. With everything that goes on in a church related to communication, planning, organization and sharing of resources; I thought the use of Google Wave would be a definite plus for the team.
As I continue to use it more and more myself I still can’t believe I can’t share files in the system already. Am I missing something? It seems there should be many more plug-ins and functionality available already.
What’s been your experience using Google Wave so far? Let me know.
