OK, this is basically Messenger on steroids?

PostPosted:**Thu Feb 11, 2010 3:02 pm**

Google Wave did as much for the Internet as Spore did for gaming.

PostPosted:**Thu Feb 11, 2010 3:08 pm**

lol Is that your new motto Jesse?

PostPosted:**Thu Feb 11, 2010 3:36 pm**

It is pretty useless and I did do with it exactly what I did with Spore. Was on it for several hours on end the day I got it and haven't thought about it since.

PostPosted:**Fri Feb 12, 2010 12:45 pm**

I'll take one. Send it imclellan@live.com

EDIT: What is Google Wave?

PostPosted:**Fri Feb 12, 2010 4:26 pm**

Sent. And... it's complicated.

According to them:
Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation
and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

PostPosted:**Fri Feb 12, 2010 5:27 pm**

I think it's use is mostly for collaboration. Such as teams of people working on a project.

PostPosted:**Fri Feb 12, 2010 5:34 pm**

I could see it being useful when applied in a work environment or a school project or some such but as a social application? It would just seem silly to me organizing an outing with Wave. And that seems like what they want it to be.

Wave Goodbye To Google Wave

Maybe it was just ahead of its time. Or maybe there were just too many features to ever allow it to be defined properly, but Google is saying today that they are going to stop any further development of Google Wave.

Wave, a real time messaging platform, was unveiled in May 2009 to an enthusiastic crowd of developers at the Google I/O event in San Francisco. It would “set a new benchmark for interactivity,” said Sergey Brin.

The product is part email, part Twitter and part instant messaging. Users can drag files from the desktop to a discussion. Wave even showed character-by-character live typing. It fully launched this last May.

And while the service has many, or at least some, passionate users (including TechCrunchers), it “has not seen the user adoption we would have liked,” says Google.

The service will remain live, says Google, although they say it may eventually come down. Google has also open sourced parts of the code and say they will create tools to let users “liberate” their data: “The central parts of the code, as well as the protocols that have driven many of Wave’s innovations, like drag-and-drop and character-by-character live typing, are already available as open source, so customers and partners can continue the innovation we began. In addition, we will work on tools so that users easily “liberate” their content from Wave.”

What happens to the Wave team, mostly located in Australia? Google won’t say, other than that they will be given new projects. Our guess is many, or all, of them will soon be working for Vic Gundotra and his new WWF (war with Facebook).

Ha! This should go in the Prediction Hall of Fame. That and my prediction of Google's domination of the phone market.
