    In over two years, I'm pretty sure that I never answered their original question, so I don't think I'll start now. (Whats wrong with "put tweet, here"?)

    And here I thought "What's Happening" was an homage to Flip Wilson as Reverend Leroy.

    Run, run from the packs of wild twits!

    Hey... maybe you could ask David Crystal if Simon Johnson of the Basel-line Scenario blog, is Welsh?

    In reply to Jargon from Hell Rides in on Google's Wave
    Wave is not at all hard to understand.


    1. It's a shared document format.


    2. Collaboration happens in real time, so that all participants in the "document" see changes as they happen.


    3. Documents are versioned from creation to the most recent changes.


    4. Apps can be embedded in the documents.


    5. Documents can be shared with apps (known as "bots").


    What else is there to say?

    @Motoko Kusanagi: Thank you.


    @HermanKahn: Microsoft wishes. It would be like if Sharepoint, Communicator, and OneNote had baby that was so much smarter and so much more advanced than its parents that it was, in fact, a new species.


    @tillman: "Collaborate on anything in real time online."


    No, I do not and never have worked for Google. Wave just sounds kind of good to me.
