I love Wave – if only for very few usecases. Sad to see it go, but great to see Google admitting the problem and striking a line.
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.
[…] Deshalb sehe ich keineswegs den Early Adopter-Ansatz – der sich im mehrere Monate andauernden Status der geschlossenen Beta-Phase manifestiert – als den Fehler von Google Wave. Das Tool war einfach selbst für versierte User zu viel des Guten, und nur wenige Nutzer konnten es erfolgreich in ihren Onlinealltag integrieren. […]
I always struggled to see why they built Wave as a standalone product in the first place – made sense to be a natural component of GMAIL and Buzz.
hey just found your blog. it’s very nice 🙂
