Isn't Twitter pretty much a personal thread with replies from your followers? That's basically what this is only with a selective audience.

Twitter is a lot more large scale...there is a lot more community building and connecting. I see both of these flourishing because I don't think they really step on eachothers toes. Twitter allows you to connect with friends but also jump into topics and it also lets large orgs. communicate well with the masses and vice versa.

Wave on the other hand seems to deal more with actionable productivity. Helping workflow and creating easier communication\functionality with people you know.

I see it as the difference between going to the library and seeing a lot of different people you interact with and going to the library and renting out one of those study rooms and getting shit done.

The social space is always changing and you never know how people will use it but thats what seems to stand out to me going forward.

Personally, I think WAVE is gonna revolutionize things in more ways than one.

If you can monitor the waves that your friends are participating in... and share in the resources, the lure of twitter will diminish.

The love of twitter is finding new talented people with great ideas, sharing great resources... if WAVE brings the thunder on that issue also... then TwitterHouston has a problem.

The problem with twitter is that in 2+ years of my using it, there has been VERY little innovation...

Waves will be embeddable into blogs, websites, forums, everything... its a total game changer.
