“Does anybody remember this thing called “Google Wave” or how we were so excited about it?” 1:25 PM Aug 3rd
The next day, on August 4, 2010, the Google Blog announced:
…Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked. We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product…
I know, I know, it was a little obvious that Wave was failing, I just thought it was cool that I happened to mention it the day before it was officially discontinued.
I GOT MY FINGER ON THE PULSE OF THE INTERNETS!! … or something like that…
What’s funny is that I now find myself thinking of gMail more like I thought of Wave, the few times I used it, anyway. I make sure the subject is relevant to what I’m emailing about and I find myself sticking to one topic in the email to make the entire “gMail conversation” a single unit.
…Interesting…
OH yeah—anybody wanna take bets on when we’ll see Buzz buzz-off?
