What did the ocean say to the sand?

Nothing. It just waved.
(wokka wokka wokka)

My fantastic brother-in-law gave me my much coveted invite to Google Wave. I started "waving" at work, but my Firefox hasn't been updated yet so I could only write in hyperlinks (note: not effective). Now that I'm visiting home and on my mother's computer with the enormous space monitor (it's amazing) I checked out Google Wave. I'm not gonna lie: it's pretty cool looking.

Problem: I don't have anyone to "wave" with. And I haven't learned how to send invites yet. But when I get to send invites, put your address and I'll invite you and we can wave.

Good part: Easy to figure out and they have great training videos.

Problem: I'm worried that none of my very important Gmail conversations and contacts won't transfer over. Also, in the future will I only be able to "wave" to other people with wave. This isn't going to REALLY take off for years, and I need to be able to contact others on the Internet not on Wave.

Good part: It makes me feel like I'm from the future.

I just got wave and it feels lonely there too. I feel like I won't really get the full experience until more people can access it.

How do you find it most useful?

to be honest I don't find it useful yet. It's lonely and the people I have on there don't talk to me.
