It also brings in Twitter, and separates out replies and direct messages. Other social networks will eventually be integrated, and the UI is still in the draft stages, but Raindrop looks pretty promising for a version 0.1 product. It's not as hard to get your head around (or "revolutionary," depending on who you ask) as Wave, but its focus on the problem of bulk vs. personal communication might make it more useful to the average Internet joe.

It seems more like a FriendFeed user-friendly (or non-geek) than a Google Wave competitor.

Looks like it'll have to do, since I was among the first to ask for a Wave invite and still haven't gotten one.

All you need to know to tell the difference between Raindrop and Wave is:
The dev team for Wave previously built Google Maps
The dev team for Raindrop previously built Thunderbird.
Nuff said.
