They gave up on the prototype and added the live collaboration features to Google Docs instead. They left the mixed chat component behind pretty badly but they did build a good concurrently edited word processor. Does anyone else remember sending docx files around by email for revisions in Track Changes mode?
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoDidn't live collaboration in Google Docs predate Google Wave? The nice thing about Google Wave (other than the instant typing) was how you could seamlessly move between talking and collaborating.
- aftbit 4y agoI think it did, but I also remember it being a lot more janky than it was after Wave. My recollection is that they reimplemented it with what they learned from Wave. I might be mistaken though, no sources sorry.
