I did some freelance web design for a while and it was very frustrating to run into clients who would tell you how amazing something was and then want you to change a bunch of things and then decide that what you had originally was best.

I am glad Google's 'failed' the merchandise fairly fast, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this when the expectation was high usage and adoption.

I agree with most of the posts here. Don't leave it as a standalone produce - integrate it with other products, especially gmail and docs. I think the potential for collaboration is immense. Most innovations I've seen are just modifications of the same idea, but Wave presented something new, I think, that could change how collaborative projects are done. Please, Google, if you kill wave as a standalone keep it going as an add on for other products.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316188622550597936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-18611724798746152352010-11-05T01:09:23.023-07:002010-11-05T01:09:23.023-07:00on the contrary me and my coworkers are very satis...on the contrary me and my coworkers are very satisfied and happy using wave. we have gained time by communicating though wave we get notifications online on our smartphones etc.<br /><br />we invite other users outside gmail also upload archives and share infos....<br /><br />it really sad they shut it down..would have benn a revolutianary CRMquo vadishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150111259029522713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-20662935194532529912010-11-02T19:21:35.354-07:002010-11-02T19:21:35.354-07:00nooooo, i love google wave. my friends and me use ...nooooo, i love google wave. my friends and me use it as a virtual office for multiple business and private purposes. please, please, don't discontinue!!!!!!!!<br /><br />ydAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-87364559876112578612010-09-08T21:11:01.258-07:002010-09-08T21:11:01.258-07:00I dont think they should discontinue it, there is ...I dont think they should discontinue it, there is still lots of dev make good thing everyday.

I signed up for it and got an invite. I found about seven of my friends and colleagues were on. I exchanged waves with maybe two of them more regularly, but more because it was cool than because of its usefullness.<br />The problem was that I did not get notifications of new waves in any way, other than opening the platform itself. Logically, after learning that opening my Wave brings me no "social pleasure" 90% of the time, I kind of ceased to visit. There were so many other ways to communicate more satisfactorily...Lorne Marrhttp://lsminsurance.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-51242266433878021712010-08-06T23:33:30.510-07:002010-08-06T23:33:30.510-07:00nooooo! :<nooooo! :<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-34155648239267811192010-08-06T16:10:47.409-07:002010-08-06T16:10:47.409-07:00what a shame, i did not expect this at all. somet...what a shame, i did not expect this at all. sometimes innovation just can't be idiot friendly. <br /><br />this needed a lot more time and open registration to really be tested, this cancellation seems very premature.Aleksandrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982178677047523673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-20385836761906379652010-08-06T06:48:08.530-07:002010-08-06T06:48:08.530-07:00This is a disappointment, we have virtual employee...This is a disappointment, we have virtual employees and google wave was a great way to communicate about where accounts stood and what needed to be done.Dino Nunnohttp://www.torontomortgagegroup.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-85661959410686359712010-08-06T04:59:28.308-07:002010-08-06T04:59:28.308-07:00Big disappointment.

We love it and it has been a great communications tool for us -- we sometimes joked that it seemed to have been built just for us.

Because they don't want to move their butt forward, Google starts to shut down great product/services. This is the second one in this month. First was Lovely NexusOne which is by far is the best phone in the market! And now Wave. God knows! maybe this attitude some day kills Google Search too!Dandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567852736409101516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-81384672288620166872010-08-06T01:41:56.577-07:002010-08-06T01:41:56.577-07:00What? Seriously, this is in my humble opinion the ...What? Seriously, this is in my humble opinion the worst decision Google has ever made!<br /><br />1) Wave is a really great and versatile tool. I know no other one-place-to-have-it-all like wave. Sure, the interface hadn't been sufficiently developed yet to deal with the massive information flow, but that's fixable! We use wave a lot in our research group, and it's really great: We primarily use it for meeting notes and making general/brainstorming notes, which we can then invite the others to comment on - it kinda bridges the gap between email and Docs.<br /><br />2) Yes, wave has not have been adopted by the masses yet, but which idiot ever imagined THAT? I've always believed that it would take 5-10 years, not months, before wave would be used by the general public userbase and not just geeks and scientists. I also agree with the previous comments here that adoption would require all components of google wave to be open, so that third parties could contribute to the adoption process. In the end (15-20 years from now...), I think the wave protocol could become a standard communication protocol used by almost all major communications providers. Just imagine the day when facebook scrapped their crappy chat/messaging system and adopted something like wave. (Not the userface, but the protocol). Talk about mass adoption...<br /><br />3) What's up with Google abandoning all it's great note-taking tools? First google notebook and now google wave? I really don't want to create a new google document for every note I need to write down! Now, I'll probably have to go back to either Evernote or M$ OneNote.<br /><br />4) Finally, Google is really going to piss a LOT of people off with this decision. Just imagine all the developers who has spent a lot of time developing wave extensions (robots and gadgets)! And companies who has already seen the light and are now developing to the wave protocol. Not to speak of users like myself who has spent the last year writing notes in google wave!<br /><br />Especially the last point has made me think about whether or not I even want to "Go Google". <br />And I could imagine that a lot of developers and companies are also thinking this. If all their efforts could be blown away with a single, short-sighted, decision from a Google CEO, then Google will probably do this again another time over. <br /> - If I was a developer, I would think carefully before starting developing for any Google platform and probably opt for something a little more safe. (MS, Facebook, Atlassian, etc, etc - or just develop my own platform...)<br /><br />Again: Stupid, short-sighted decision!RasmusScholerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09416926873365193189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-15185036157583348332010-08-05T23:02:02.294-07:002010-08-05T23:02:02.294-07:00Next up, Google Buzz.
