I have my doubts about Google Wave. If Twitter is still complicated for some people to understand (conceptually speaking) I feel not too many will find great value in the Real-time communication feature of Wave.

I don't think search is the killer app for real-time. Real-time communication is already popular with sites like Twitter and Facebook where the value is to see what your friends are doing in real-time. The use-cases for search are not so obvious right now. And you get this from a guy building a RT conversational search-engine.
