I've said it in the past, and I'll say it again, Google Wave was a great idea that was pitched by Google in a bad way. All it's promise was torpedoed because of the way Google marketed it. There is nothing out there that solves the problems Wave solved, and because of that, communication and collaboration is still stuck in the Stone Age of the internet. Slack and Google Docs is the best we have, and they don't do anything that couldn't be done decades ago.
