    The reporting on this comparing it to Wave is basically incorrect. Whether or not there was email incorportation support in the original (essentially alpha) release, wave allows extensions that would easily incorporate email, chat, etc.

    It does have some similarities. One big difference is I can use this today. Google Wave availability is unknown. I'll give it a try see if it helps with daily email clutter.

    Shareflow's developers talk about it as an individual solution to a similar problem: "Shareflow was conceived of without any knowledge that Google was working on Wave and developed with limited resources on a tight timeline. When we kicked off the project earlier this year, we discussed our ideal vision for Shareflow which looked a lot like wave; however, as a small team focused on becoming profitable, we decided to focus on getting a product out there for people to use first."

    Wave's real trick up the sleeve, though, is that it'll be free and open source, luring developers with big ideas over to what they have on offer for much greater development, especially in its Google-iscious perpetual beta. Google wants to redefine email with this rather than integrating it as-is for another feature, and the other major difference is _money_. Google's got the big bucks for hard-hitting announcements and visions, whereas Shareflow's somewhat more restricted.
