chaosmachine Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 ... But despite these wins, and numerous loyal fans, Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked. We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product, but we will maintain the site at least through the end of the year and extend the technology for use in other Google projects. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/update-on-google-wave.html prediction: google wave is the next google knol. http://www.google.com/trends?q=knol%2C+wikipedia%2C+google+wave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest futuregirlfriend Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 It was quite useful for making lists and stuff. I had a thematic YouTube video wave going on with disparaissant for a bit. Welp, once last look to see if you can pick up women on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 They never really believed in it did they? Never pushed it all the way to the public. It was a nice techdemo, some good ideas. But current javascript engines are still too slow to replace something like Outlook. I love the way they keep up the RND though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Haven't heard it mentioned since it was announced and I didn't even understand what it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 it was kinda useless because it didn't know what it was, forcing it to behave like email was bad imo they should've thought of another way to implement that technology/concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o00o Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 google fails more and more. even bing gets better than google in parts. only gmail is still as good as it used to be but they nearly ruined it with that buzz shit nobody needs. and chrome is nice but needs some better adblock.

o00o Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I'm with Coalbucket. What the hell was it anyway? It was a forum alike / email mix. so emails where some kind of intelligent topics where you could share content and add people to the conversion.

Guest Gary C Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I never understood what it was supposed to be doing either. From what I remember there was a large PDF of instructions and a 10-min intro video that just waxed lyrical about how it was a 'revolution' and didn't actually tell you how it was supposed to work. Social-networking apps have to be easy to grasp, intuitive. I think a Google thinktank imagined this Twitter/Facebook/E-mail hybrid, pumped some money into it's production, but never actually tested it or probably even used it themselves.

o00o Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 the main problem was that only people with a wave account could use and it that way it was way inferior to email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest disparaissant Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 i liked what little use of it i got. when it was in beta it was fun, like future girlfriend said. but when it was actually released it seemed to slow down to the point where i couldn't even use it anymore. so i won't miss it.

Blir Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 the main problem was that only people with a wave account could use and it that way it was way inferior to email I got sent an invite to use Wave but because I never figured out what it was meant to do, I never bothered. They promoted it terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 i had a bunch of friends using it and was every now and then being included in the included list of peeps. it was just a big confusing email thing that seemed cool but was really kinda not so cool.

They promoted it terribly. Yeah. I liked the concept. Maybe if it had been integrated with gmail/email better instead of being its own separate thing I would have used it more than about 3 times.
