I think it's like what I used wave for soon after it launched. Let's say you're coming up with a business plan with your friends to pitch for VC money and you're putting your thoughts together. You add in your stuff the wave. Others add their stuff. If somebody has an epiphany later, they can add it then. A week or two later you'd have a document with everybody's thoughts in one place that you can run through and compile a slideshow.

I wonder if I got that right.

Anyway, great blogpost!

How is this different then google docs, Evernote, or 100 different PM tools? Still not getting this at all... maybe product shots would convey this better?

Can't you already do that with Google Docs? To be honest, I used Google Docs quite a bit for collaboration and I did try Rocketr when it first launched, it was pretty and all but it didn't meet my needs for project planning. Perhaps I'm not the target audience.

This is exactly correct.

Then I still don't see how this is different from a wiki, or a pure collaborative document, or a federated wiki.

It's taking serious effort to try to work out what pain this solves that isn't catered for by the above options.

I don't see how this is different from a Google doc, where you have one doc owner and you can set permissions so that other people can view, edit, or only leave a comment?

Agree with you Matt. Check out the google docs promo vids they used during day 2 of Google IO.

(wow this was painful to find)

That style of fun product demonstration would be perfect for this type of app.

Also google docs now work offline really well and across multiple devices, which is incredibly useful.

Who gets attribution for every thought embodied in that doc?

[Matt_Cutts]

I believe Google Docs keeps all the revisions, so if anyone cares a lot, they could go back and check.

But what I've found with Google Docs is that if someone is making a trivial change (like correcting a typo), they'll just go ahead and make the edit in the doc. If they're suggesting a substantial change, they'll add the suggestion as a comment and let the author decide whether to incorporate it.
