$250,000 Wave Goodbye WizeHive Giveaway
- ca98am79 16y agoThis is my startup - we're just trying to have a little fun with the demise of Google Wave. If you want a free account just email wavegoodbye@wizehive.com and mention you're from Hacker News and I'll make sure to hook you up.
- bl4k 16y agoI thought (I am sure many others will think the same) that you were giving away cash, since there are dollar signs in the title but no mention of 'software' Wizehive sounds great, seriously, I just read your page for about 3-4 seconds (until I worked out there was no cash around), but I think you should splash some cash around. After all, your biggest potential competitor just gave up - the same guys that all those investors asked what you are going to do about for all those years, they are gone now. Time to make it rain bro!

- daeken 16y agoWow, haven't seen WizeHive before -- this is awesome. Just started playing around with it, but so far this seems to be exactly what I've been looking for. Good work!
- thegyppo 16y agoIf you could export existing Waves into WizeHive you could be onto a winner, I know there's a lot of people wondering what's going to happen to all the content they've already invested in creating....
- Raphael 16y agoYou aren't seriously going to charge $588 if someone wants to use it a second year?
- apgwoz 16y agoWhy wouldn't they? The pricing is $49/mo for the standard account normally. Too steep for many individuals, but they're going after organizations.
- goatforce5 16y agoWhat would you consider to be a reasonable price point?
- ekanes 16y agoA bit of copy feedback... "Although we do not offer the keystroke by keystroke functionality of Google Wave, WizeHive does have dozens of compelling features that allow groups to effectively work together." This is like saying, "They're gone, and while we're not as good as them, we're not bad." You obviously have your own ideas on how to help people work together - focus on that and not on implying you're a wave clone. Good luck with it, sounds like a big opportunity.
- scotty79 16y agoActually "keystroke by keystroke" is one think I'd gladly tossed out of wave and what they wrote seemed humble to me and I got a very positive feeling. Unfortunately what they have is a closed tool so it's something completely different.
