I was tempted to ask for one just for the cool factor, but I don't think I'd ever use it. LOL

Same feelings here.

Are there any benefits?

Potential drawbacks?

Did post this a while back and comments still stand for me.

While it looks as if its a chat app its not Google have their own chat app anyhow in Gmail, but this is a online collaboration tool, in which users can in real time edit/change documents and have real time meetings, while I do in work have phone conferences, its difficult to send a document down the voice phoneline, whereas this mention we can basically have a roundtable meeting where you would have a flipchart of Smartboard to write on but this way its global.

Could help me setup future meetings between various centers at you can invite your group and then have voting pages for various topics to maps for direction, weather, meeting schedules that can be added to by all.

While I personally think this is vastly different to Facebook (similarities do exist in say oranising events and being a meeting place) I can see how some may use it the same and post when they put new socks on to telling everyone a 10min by 10min play of their day! in the initial stages but its not as easy to use in that respect than that of Facebook, this if you read the information it is a organisational collaboration tool over being a clone of Facebook or Wikipedia imho.

Its very early days but I can see the interaction with Google Docs being added in, the future direction by many tech companies is "cloud computing" and this type of thing will become the norm. I'm still evaluating its usefulness, undecided as yet, while I could use it now and again for the purpose of setting up events its not really a daily thing like Facebook or Twitter.

These things wont be for everyone, but cest la vie.

I'm still 50/50 towards this being a great must have and one that just doesnt cut it yet.
