Google Wave uber-whelms me

Hi Jason,
I agree that the beauty (one, at any rate) of gmail is its simplicity, but that aside, I think you're giving Wave short shrift. It's not so much an application as a platform for other apps and ultimately a way to drown Microsoft Bob, as well as Microsoft Steve, Apple Steve and any other Bob, Steve or Harry you can think of on the desktop. I just wrote about a cat in Wichita (not an actual cat you understand, that would be really amazing) who's already written a Firefox plug-in that notifies you when you've been sent a wavelet. No huge deal, except there's already a useful app and you're the only guy in the greater metropolitan area with a Google Wave account. I mean, wait until GA. (I go on about this in greater detail here if you're interested: http://industry.bnet.com/technology/10003724/google-wave-add-on-is-the-start-of-a-tsunami/?tag=shell;content).
All the best--much respect as ever,
Michael
