Why Wave Failed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the exciting-thursday-morning dept.

Florian Wardell submitted a little discussion piece about Why Wave Failed. He blames marketing and the staged rollout. Personally I think that what killed it was that I should have transparently been able to see my gmail inside wave. Requiring a separate window guarantees that I wouldn't use it regularly. Had I been able to read my regular mail in the same UI, I might have been tempted to use it more.

    better than a shared whiteboard and phone call?

    Wave was much better than a phone call. The phone might be okay if you want to have a chat with a friend, but the phone has absolutely no place in business.

    Flamebait me if true! I have not been asked to moderate in years.
