Right, someone here must know
what exactly is Google Wave. What does it actually do? I have heard lots about it being great and easy to use and pwerful etc, but I don't have a clue what it is.

good description
it sounds like a pain in the arse to me. I wouldn't want other people interfering with my document while I'm trying to work on it.

also, I quite like Serenity, but only because it follows on from Firefly

It doesn't matter what it is.
What matters is that it's futuristic and I've got it, therefore I'm cool.

Also, this question counts as a computer-related question so I'm going to have to bill you £1.666666666666667 for using a minute of my valuable time to reply to it.

It links all your e-mail, IM, social networking, twatter and what have you in one easy to use screen.

I got it last week. I used it for an hour. I haven't bothered since, as it seems to be tech for tech's sake and utterly pointless.

It's a bit like b3ta's off-topic
but more shitty and less good. Also Wave has far less group hugs.
