Why Google Wave Sucks, And Why You Will Use It Anyway
- tumult 17y agoEventually, TechCrunch headlines will just devolve to "Click here for FREE Laptop!"
- RossM 17y agoI really like the idea of Wave, which is probably why I feel that this person doesn't 'get' Wave. Many of the problems they had were mainly down to the fact Google let people in early while the software wasn't finished. It's not polished and it's not ready for mass-use. Also things like "lock-in" for Google accounts, isn't this what the protocol (called federation or something?) was supposed to solve? I thought wave was simply a client to it and that cross-server sharing functionality would come soon.
- michaelcampbell 17y agoAgree with everyone here; it's WAY too early to be declaring it a hit or a miss. Personally, it's not Wave that will be the typical Google disruptor here; it's the ideas that Wave will bring. I think shorter term the "hit" will be intraweb company Waves, and then who knows? I'm not that bright nor have the gift of foresight (even less than most), but I'm excited for what Wave will allow people to do, not for what it is.
