I've been digesting 3rd pty impressions of Wave today - bc I didn't get the invite. Sounds like they've hit a sweet spot with collaboration. Would love hear more about how you're using this for CRM. I've been tinkering with the new Salesforce low-end solution for small biz and Batchbook. Neither of which I can get to work the way I'd like. Wave could be a seamless integration of gmail contacts and CRM. Thanks for this… I've been digesting 3rd pty impressions of Wave today – bc I didn't get the invite.

I know in our experience our clients like to be kept in the loop about how many hours we're charging and where we are in the project, usually this is handled through email or over the phone but with Wave and the customization of what feeds are visible by who we could easily give them the information they need while keeping the rest to ourselves.

Next post, if you can, please take on the issue of spammers possibly crashing their waves on everyone's beach.

While the CRM aspect can heavily reduce Email overload because client waves would be ranked in priority (my company's virtual VIP folders don't yet group automatically by contact but rather by Email), I wouldn't want multiple people or even one person hanging on real time IM replies from me.

I have always disliked IM because the other person tends to get insulted if you don't answer back ASAP. Multiple open IMs sounds like Dante's vision of Hades…but it might work as long as one can pretend not to be at one's desk.
