Key features I like:
- No choice a priori - it's a blog, a wiki, sharing, collaboration, instant messaging, email all the time.
- The content model is extendable to documents, spreadsheets, etc.
- Super instant messaging shows characters as you prepare your response. You are always always read and write. No waiting.
- Conversion to finished document by converting a wave to a new wave. Wich remains linked to the next one.
- Meeting minutes are automatically written by all users.
- Translates on the fly as required. Rose the robot.
- Backspace then E to switch between wave updates.
- Context spelling as you type is context based against the content of the web. Spelly
- Link detector as you type. Linky
- Searchy, adds links to the wave in a popup search window.
