Anyone remember Google Wave? My friends and I used to have conversations and being able to see live input on multiple threads was so good for speeding up conversations as you'd be able to see what they're all typing at the same time. Shame that got canned.
- addingnumbers 4y agoWave did their marketing push when it was invite-only. The invites were going for $50-$100 on eBay. A lot of people like me weren't rich or well-connected enough to try it if they wanted. It went on like that for ten months, then with very little fanfare they opened it to everyone. I didn't find out they finally made it generally available until three months later when they said they were shutting it down due to lack of interest. I'd say there wasn't a lack of interest, there was a bumbling misalignment of its hype cycle and its availability.
