I dunno, I liked Wave. I thought of it as NLS as implemented by a modern software dev who had only heard a verbal description.

- DonHopkins 7y agoI fell for the hype myself, got terribly excited about it, and wrote up a bunch of ideas in a Wave discussion about how to use it for collaborating in multi player SimCity. But it just got so slow and unresponsive the bigger a wave grew, and it was like drinking from a tsunami, so that nobody could keep up with what everybody else was typing.
- jdougan 7y agoPart of the problem is that it had none of the filtering tools of NLS, and the linking/sharing/addressing tools had a terrible UI. It could have used some kind of changelog/journal as well. I wish someone could have shown them The Mother of All Demos, if they could make it do mostly that it could have been amazing, but they were probably pretty heavy into drinking their own flavor-aid at that point.
