vBulletin isn't happening in real-time though; it really isn't much like Wave at all... Everything on Wave appears as it is happening without any page refreshes... The wiki aspects of it make it great for creating a document quickly and collaboratively. Multiple people can edit at the same time and they will all see each others edits happening as they happen. When someone is typing you can see what they are typing (this can be disabled by a simple checkbox next to the input area), and in cases where you are IMing it can speed up the conversation because you don't have to wait to see their whole thought before you can start replying. Also, using add-ons you can enable things like real-time context spell checking ("Icland is an icland" gets corrected to "Iceland is and island", "I like been soup" gets corrected to "I like bean soup"), real-time inline translation (if you speak a different language it shows your language below what is being typed), and tons of other crazy cutting edge stuff. You can drag and drop photos right into the Wave from your desktop... No upload form. No direct connection to your buddy. The best part is if you jump into a convo late or a bunch of stuff has happened since your last view of it, you can use playback to walk through the convo and see it unfold, addition by addition and edit by edit. It's really quite amazing...
