Google Wave has arrived!

I received my invitation to use Google Wave last night. I was chuffed! I've been playing with it for most of the day, in between firefighting, putting the world to rights, and a spot of light childcare.
Unfortunately there are several serious drawbacks to Wave. Firstly, I have no-one to wave to. I've identified people I want to wave to, but invitations won't be sent out immediately.
Secondly, it's sooo Beta, it needs weekly updates at least. No way to empty the trash? That's just wrong-headed.
Thirdly, work has already firewalled Wave, so I shan't be accessing it during work hours or on my work laptop. This is a real shame, as I can see a lot of benefit in this. In addition, it can replace Facebook and Twitter for keeping in touch socially too.
I'm sure I'll get it eventually though - never mind...
