I’m excited to hear that there is an interest from within the library community about Wave. I work for Nature Publishing Group’s Web Publishing division, and the initial feedback that we have been getting from scientists is one of “Meh”. There is a long way to go before value from Wave can be demonstrated.

Makes me wonder why the traditional citation management software vendors (EndNote, RefWorks, et al) didn't develop their own write-and-cite plugin for Word that offered this kind of "search your own collection and autoformat the cite" functionality. I can't wait to get my hands on Google Wave to figure out how we can use it for reference services. Thanks for spotlighting that video.
