Can’t Wait to Catch the Google Wave

Wave applicaton
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for Google Wave to go public… I just hope I get an invite in the first wave, but I didn’t hear about it until just a short time ago. Google is supposed to open it to the public (limited invites, though) a week from tomorrow.
Open-sourcing it and allowing federation will be what makes it big… Honestly, how long do you think it will be before Microsoft takes it and tries to one-up Google? I was wondering how it was going to work with Internet Explorer, as IE doesn’t support HTML 5, but it seems Google has built a Chrome Frame plugin for IE.
I first read about this on Erictric, who argues that Wave is starting to fizzle even before it’s open to the public. I must say, I disagree. I think, come next week, it’s going to be all over the blogosphere and twitter… and then, yea, wave.
