On Google Wave…sort of…

I may have had a bit of a revelation reading this Daring Fireball post:

Facebook is a good counter-example of a conceptually complex communication system that is very popular. My pessimism/skepticism regarding Wave is probably biased by my own strong preference for conceptual simplicity; I have not and don’t intend to sign up for Facebook.

At some point I realized that I tend to log into Facebook only when someone tells me I’ve come up in a conversation there. I tend to appreciate simple solutions to complex problems. Erwin was the last person I knew that hadn’t completely given up on IM; if you can’t say it on Twitter, send an email. IM might not be that complicated, but Twitter so simple that you can’t explain its appeal to someone. Facebook is sprawling.
