I'm always a little dubious about trusting Google, but they just keep coming up with great ideas and I can't help but get excited about them. I have run Chromium on Ubuntu, and it worked much better than I was expecting given that it came with the caveat that it wasn't even close to being ready yet. I'm happy to wait for now.
I was impressed by the Google wave demo, in fact I had not long before been thinking about how best to collaborate with my colleagues on a paper I am writing, as soon as I watched that demo I thought "that's it!". We currently send things back and forth via email, discussion about technical aspects of the paper, a copy of the paper with comments annotated on it, and a wiki with some of the more well thought-out arguments put down. It seems to me that Google wave would be a far better way to organise all this. The only thing I'm not sure about is how we could collectively edit a LaTeX document using it, but as it's all open, I'm sure that an extension could be written.
