Wave Goodbye
Especially when it was launched I was asked why I didn’t pay more attention to Google Wave. In short, I didn’t see how it added value to my online experience and I found it too cumbersome to want to find out.
It seems I was not alone. Citing adoption problems, the news that Google Wave is to be discontinued is hardly surprising.
Google Wave had a lot of potential, but Google didn’t manage to build a compelling user experience and define some use cases for the application. Instead of building a general-purpose interface for Google Wave, Google could’ve used the platform to create multiple applications with clearly-defined goals: a new version of Google Chat, a new version of Google Docs, a brainstorming app etc.
