The author calls Wave a "passive-aggressive" form of communication, which makes alot of sense. E-Mail, on one hand, is fabulous, b/c you can respond to it at your leisure. It operates on your schedule. You can check messages and reply whenver it is convenient for you. Other methods, like IM, are aggressive. Google wave attempts to mix the best of these worlds.
"You can actively (aggressively) engage in threads in real-time, or you can sit back and let messages come to you at your leisure (passively)." They are really trying a new method here, and it will be fascinating to see if the concept takes hold.
