At the moment the system is in Alpha, not Beta, testing. I've been involved in a few Waves and I can see its potential. There's still a way to go. Let's consider how it might help both Nikki and Romany work with a client. Client asks for an article to be prepared. So it gets written, but instead of sending it to the client, you put it into a Wave and add the client to the Wave. The client can look at the text and make suggestions, or comments, can even amend the text on screen. That to me is real collaboration. If we can add audio and perhaps video to the mix too, it'll be a fantastic way of working with clients remotely. Let's be on the leading edge of something - I've missed that so often I'm determined to be there this time! Play with it and enjoy the journey. That way you'll get to know how to do things and what you can do. Robert I, on the other hand, don’t think it’s all a big hoohah. At the moment the system is in Alpha, not Beta, testing.

Let’s be on the leading edge of something – I’ve missed that so often I’m determined to be there this time!

Play with it and enjoy the journey. That way you’ll get to know how to do things and what you can do.

It's all a big hooohah for not very much if you ask me. I'm still trying to see what the big deal is. The only thing that seems of be of value is that you can have a group wave discussion which means just one more tool to add to your list.

Seeing as I didn't get an invite, it feels a little bit like I'm standing at the sports field side-lines, after not being picked for either team. I'm looking forward to finding out what I'm actually missing out on. Hi there

I read your blog post with interest, Romany. Seeing as I didn’t get an invite, it feels a little bit like I’m standing at the sports field side-lines, after not being picked for either team.

I’m looking forward to finding out what I’m actually missing out on.
