Google Wave: The eternal conference call (roughtype.com)

Communication is hard. Neither voicemail nor E-Mail made it much easier. Nor will Wave. So far, so obvious.

What I don’t get is this author’s hatred for conference calls. I only experienced them as a very focused thing. Sort of like a meeting. Neither any more or less annoying. If you know what you want to do and what you can accomplish not really annoying.

Also: Telephone’s not dead and still useful, especially for time critical stuff. If you need something right now writing an E-Mail won’t help. Neither will Wave.
