Jason Preston's posterous

Google Wave adds many of these unproductive problems and then lays another few unproductive things on top.

Scoble dumps on Google Wave for being more of a distraction than a tool to assist collaborative work.

I have to say at my company, we haven't found an effective tool for collaborative work on spreadsheets or documents. Google Docs is underpowered and SLOW, and nothing else seems to come close.

I think there's huge potential for whatever business figures out how to get several people on separate machines working productively on a common set of files. HUGE.
