Mostly about Porn, building Bombs and Nazi talk. The standrds I see a general Problem with server based computing to privacy. Especially when it comes to business secrets etc, where a competitor of Google might leak first class information to Google (or any other provider) when caching documents on their servers. I wonder if they offer encrypted communication, such that only clients can deencode the contents locally.

Security and liabilities are a concern of mine as well. As far having everything on one network grid, my understanding is that Google is releasing the core as open source so your company can set up its own wave service. This can be kept for internal use only or bridged to a similar set up at another company. Part of the looong demo simulated this, showing the platform agnostic capability.
There are still a lot of issues that need to be resolved and plugins that need to be developed. A really good VOIP plugin for example.

I dont think that big companies will use it and that secure meetings will be made with this. You still can use other tools for that, you can setup virtual private networks and use net meetings or whatever.
I see this tool as a good solution for the casual everyday-communication. It can be very helpful. MSN is such a bad alternative. Exchanging files became worse and worse with every version, it is not reliable and I got spam from blocked persons as well. Wave sounds like the perfect alternative.
If I would be afraid about security, then I would switch to a more private tool.
But who knows, maybe they address this in the future as well with different keys, encryptions and other techniques.
