Right, it’s not bad, just not what I want to use—what I had in mind was more like Twitter for audio, which this could be if not for that feature.

I'm sorry, not following. If not for what feature?

I think he means if not for the ephemerality of the waves. If they were persistent, you could go back and "catch up" on conversations you missed before and gain context. It's like an archive for a podcast. This would be a huge win

Also is there an auto advance feature if you have a queue built up?

Essentially everything is run from a queue. It's either the public queue (called the Ocean) which runs from most popular on down, or it is the private queue (called the Stream) which runs from oldest to newest. And yes, it should auto-advance when you reach the end of one wave, going straight into the other. Am I understanding your question correctly?
