I personally found that really cool - because even if you make typos, it's possible for the others to already start typing an answer before your sentence is completely finished - much like in a real conversation.
I use google wave a lot, and find it really awesome, that you can reply to anything anywhere. Or make a comment, directly at the place where it belongs; plus, if you talk about a lot of topics it's easier and better sorted than in an IM conversation.

Plus you can actually turn that off, so that the others don't see you typing in real-time, if it bothers you.

There were like... six people in it going OMG OMG WHAT'S HAPPENING? WHO AM I TALKING TO NOW? CAN YOU SEE THIS? WHAT.

I'll try it again once it's out of Beta. :D

Yeah, the first time I was online simultaneously with the friend that I'm usually "waving" with, was "fun" too - we were talking about different topics all at the same time. It was fun, and creepy - but mostly fun :D.
And atm we're mostly using it like a forum (because usually we're not online at the same time) - we discuss links or other stuff - and it's easier and more sorted than in the emails we wrote beforehand.
I think this system will be awesome for collaborative works.
