Google Wave is an international phenomenon, and people all over the planet have joined the wave. A simple check through the public waves will prove this, with the variety of languages that the discussions are being conducted in.

Of course, one of the big barriers to international co-operation is visible right there, namely the variety of languages that people use for communication. Wave also has a way to work around that, with bots such as Aunt Rosie (aunt-rosie@appspot.com), which uses Google Translate to translate blip contents through Google Translate, which I think will really help people join in the conversation, even though the translations are still very crude in some ways.

Wave is also very well suited to working across timezones, since the messages stay, and can be responded to in any order.
