However, I'm not sure that I am enamored with the concept of my comments being visible in real time as I type them in. I distinguish between a chat (real time, or sent each time I hit enter) and a comment that that I might think about and edit several times before submitting (such as this comment). This does seem to be somewhat addressed with the "draft" mode... though perhaps I'm starting to show my age in terms of an IT generation gap ;) At first glance Google Wave appears similar to IBM Lotus Sametime:
