Google Wave And The Dawn Of Passive-Aggressive Communication

A nice bit of analysis from TechCrunch on what makes Google Wave interesting. I'm with MG Siegler on this – Wave's combining of email ("passive") and instant messaging ("aggressive" or "active") ways of communicating seems to fit more naturally with the way we want to use these types of technologies today. Of course Wave is a long way from being a available as a business tool, but it's refreshing to see a completely new approach, rather than an evolution of existing approaches to communication.
