After 15 months of hype and disappointment, Google has decided to pull the plug on Wave, its real-time collaboration platform.
Wave was an awesome platform, but I just never found it useful in the workplace. It was fun to watch other people as they type messages and upload photos, but it was not a productive tool.
Google should seriously reconsider releasing products to the public without letting other people outside the Googleplex test them.
I was actually rooting for Google; I wanted to see Wave make it into the enterprise, but I knew in the back of my mind that it would fail.
One good thing to come from wave though...
