Google Kills Wave Development

Posted by timothy on from the harshing-on-mellow dept.

We've mentioned several times over the past two years Wave, Google's ambitiously multi-channel, perhaps plain overwhelming entry in the social media wars. Now, reader mordejai writes "Google stated in its official blog that they will not continue developing Wave as a standalone product. It's sad, because it had a lot of potential to improve communications, but Google never promoted it well, denying it a chance to replace email and other collaboration tools for many uses."

    Fucking stupid, fucking useless and nobody will use it. Said just after I tried my first wave out.

    Why was I right?

    Because it was a terrible bit of software, in both concept (nobody wants collaboration at that level - if they did every content creation desktop app would do it), and in implementation.

    Just awful.
