As far as Wave. Heard of it haven't bothered with it. Not worth my time. As far as I can tell it's just a bunch of social networking crap. At least that's what I've read.

Even if you were talking about the VIDEO aspect, this "ninny" knows enough to say with confidence that any tech related to HTML 5, including codec standards, will be ironed out in less than a year. Count on the Mozilla (already on board), Chrome, Safari and Opera browsers to get with the times pretty quickly and even for Microsoft to allow codec developers to port over the dominant codecs as add ons until they figure out what to do with Silverlight.
Speaking of dominant codecs - Google (Youtube), Mozilla, Apple, Wikipedia and DailyMotion are five major internet brands that are supporting the Ogg codec already, which has been released as Theora 1.0 (full public release, not beta).
The train has already left the station.
And if you believe that Wave is merely a social networking app and is not worth your time, then you need to do more research. Also, look carefully at the persons on the Wave development team, they're not slackers in the least.
