Is Google Wave the 37Signals killer?

If its a true improvement over the 37Signals suite I will immediately transition over.

One of the guys in DreamIt has a Wave account. My thoughts:

  • This is an incredible collaboration platform for teams.
  • No way will this replace email or other existing forms of communication.
  • The federated platform nature of it will make companies much more comfortable. You can store your sensitive documents on your own servers, not Google’s.
  • The robots concept is neat, but not much more intuitive than IRC bots.
  • It’s buggy as hell.

The people who should be worried the most is the 37Signals team. This has the potential to be a fantastic improvement over Basecamp, Campfire, Backpack, Highrise. It’s real-time collaboration, version controlled like a wiki, great support for multimedia with smooth drag and drop.

If you don’t use IRC or 37Signals-style group productivity software, move on, there’s nothing to see here.
