I have a @waiting context too, but I often assign one of my people contexts instead if I'm waiting on someone I work with regularly.

For example, if my coworker Chad is handling some portion of the project, I'll assign @Chad. The next time I have Chad on the phone, or on iChat, or see him at a meeting, I can just pull up my @Chad context to see all of the things related to him, including tasks I'm waiting for him to finish.

I guess the main difference is my @Waiting context is on hold and the @Chad context isn't. So anything with @Waiting doesn't show up in my working context view; I only see the items in my weekly review (when I check my on hold items). So for me, the @Waiting context gets used more for long term actions (e.g. Wait for W-2 forms @waiting), where as my @Chad context is something I want to see everyday (e.g. Wait for Chad's library code changes @Chad).
