As for interviewing in Google Wave, it worked pretty well (except that I kept forgetting I had a Google Wave account and the interview would lie lonely for days at a time). It kept things straight better than even Gmail and, maybe Brandon could comment on this, the interviewee has the opportunity to polish answers after the fact. (I'm not sure if that's good or not.) But it was clean and simple and well organized. I would do it again. .

You share the myths with others. You participate in ceremony and ritual that puts the myths in context. That’s missing in art. There are all these powerful stories, but there is no context and no community. People have a natural urge to integrate narrative into their lives." I think this is a very important insight. Thanks, Theric and Brandon. Th: Can you say a little about the experience of doing an interview via Google Wave? What were the advantages and drawbacks? Would you do it again? “The one advantage that religion has over art is how the myths are woven into your life. You share the myths with others.
