Google made the right call with Wave, finally. The better call would have been to not release it.

  > The better call would have been to not release it. Why's that? Wave wasn't a humiliating mess. It turned out not to really fit anywhere, but that's the kind of thing you learn by letting people try the product, no?

    Google dogfooded Wave before releasing it publicly.

      My question stands.

          I still don't see why Google shouldn't have released it. I already pointed out that Wave's problem was that it never found its place, despite a solid implementation, which is just the sort of issue that makes itself clear after being released to the public.
