I got it, but doesn't seem like much more than a glorified chat program.

I've had it for a while. We use it in our company when there are multiple people working on the same project. It works well for that purpose. It definitely will be interesting to see what people use it for. Have you guys heard of Google Music yet? That is pretty damn cool.

It's either ahead of its time or behind.

I totally drank The Wave kool-aid. I was at the conference where they announced it, and I was so excited about it that I started to buy their stock, even though I'd previously thought Google had already been bid up to the stratosphere.

I do think it's very early. It's a platform without much for apps, and the apps will really make it. In my direct experience they've been a little disorganized and slow in enabling third parties to make apps for it, but I think for their size of company they are probably going as fast as they can. I mean, they had to buy that piece of crap mobile advertising company for $750m from their VC friends at Sequoia Capital, after putting together a deal like that you have to go into hiding long enough to stop laughing and put on a straight face, or your shareholders will know your full of shit and just stealing from them. Anyways, I do believe this will eventually be the 'next email' or 'next web' or whatever you want to call it, even if it's not obvious right now with the basic applications that are running on top of it now.

SAP Launches a Google Wave for the Enterprise

http://mashable.com/2010/02/03/12sprints/

SAPâ€™s newly released beta product 12Sprints â€” a free cutting edge collaborative decision-making tool â€” adds much needed structure to the idea of real-time collaboration, made popular by Google Wave, and improves upon the functionality of popular web-based team collaboration tools like Basecamp.

While 12Sprints can work for teams of all sizes, the tool is designed to especially serve the needs of their Fortune 500 clients with a cloud-based system that is designed to be a results-driven workspace.

The 12Sprints workflow is structured around Activities, which are like project buckets for specific decision-making processes. Participants can add tools to activities to collaborate and discuss files, make decisions, manage time, set action items, assign responsibilities, work together in real-time via word-processing and spreadsheet-like tools, group individual items into collections, and conduct sophisticated business tasks like cost/benefit analysis and SWOT analysis.

If youâ€™re familiar with Google Wave (Google Wave), you can think of starting an Activity as akin to starting a Wave, so youâ€™ll want to name it, invite participants, and start adding content to it. Unlike Google Wave, 12Sprints is incredibly structured which makes it less flexible when it comes to supporting free form conversations, but more conducive to maintaining a clean workspace, collecting feedback, and coming to group decisions.

There are, however, very little bounds to what can be added to an Activity, but each item is considered its own entity. The individual items/elements â€” regardless of type â€” all support comments, action items with due dates, the ability to add reference points, export/import options where appropriate, and other business appropriate features. Elements and their associated action remain open into closed or completed by a participant.

Within Activities, the product currently supports all of the following elements:
