And I've long viewed Twitter as "persistent IRC". As for whether it's RESTful.... well, no, it isn't, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Besides, a Wave can contain hypermedia, can't it? So, it doesn't try to replace the web, contrary to early reaction. It's just a supplementary channel to deliver the same media. Seems more centralized, though, so probably won't have the same scale, though it's too early to tell. I view Wave as a possible “open, distributed, Twitter-like thing”.

We kept the focus on enterprise uses for Wave, which abnormally are more interesting that the consumer ones, at least to an enterprise wonk like me.
