Google Wave

i know of Chris Saad he is using it for his Edge Theory - ffcode

FF should have something similar... :) - ovigia

Maybe but I can't think of a single thread that I would like to preserve should FF go down the toilet. Wave on the other hand I have two or three that I will probably preserve just in case I need them over the next few months (and then they too can be trashed). I think all this "I own my data and need to preserve it for all time" hysteria about social media is just rhetoric. It has a very short shelf life. - Brian Sullivan

Brian i would like to backup at least what i've posted....its easier to find here than in my bookmarks ;) - ovigia

"Recently we’ve learned two interesting things Google-related.  One, Google Wave is dead.  And two, Google is working on a comprehensive social networking platform, supposedly to be called Google.Me, to compete with Facebook.  Let’s think about this a moment." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

"I think Wave is an interesting application that could have become a useful tool, had it not become the latest Google project to fall off the wall due to an complete lack of post-launch support. I’m not a fan Google’s “throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and see what sticks” approach to application deployment. I’d also venture that the success rate of apps launched that way is about the same as my success rate in getting Disqus to accurately compute Reactions to my blog posts. Low, really low." - Kol Tregaskes

"Google must know that approach doesn’t really work, given the complete opposite approach it took with Google Buzz. Google bolted Buzz onto Gmail accounts, guaranteeing a large user base, even if portions of that use base don’t know anything about Buzz. I think the fact that Google launched Buzz in this aggressive manner is very telling. It tells me that Google really wanted Buzz to... more... - Kol Tregaskes

Pissing into the wind I am afraid. - Brian Sullivan from Bookmarklet

"With rumors of Google Me flying about, and Google Buzz still not having entirely recovered from some early misguided press and unclear utility in a social world dominated by Facebook and Twitter, it is logical to wonder, for some, if the Mountain View owned aggregation and sharing site will follow Wave to an early end. I would not be so fast to reach this conclusion, even if Google hasn't done as solid a job in marking product milestones the way they have finally determined how to make big splash launch announcements. The product, as best as I can tell, sees regular updates, with more features in the queue, and has a good, if not overwhelming, level of use from casual to devoted participants. And it seems very logical that even if Google doubles down with a new product like "Me", as rumored, that Buzz would play a major part in its development - as would the company's expanded Google Profiles." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

"Google Wave, a product once heralded by many as a massively disruptive communication tool (heck, invites were even selling for $70 on eBay), is no more. In a blog post this afternoon, Google says they “don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product,” though the code for it will remain available as open source. The move isn’t much of a surprise; adoption never seemed to materialize for Google Wave — even after it dropped its invite-only status — as users struggled to find meaningful use cases for the service (though we found a few). What’s most interesting about Wave, perhaps, is the spectacular rate of its rise and fall. It was easily one of the most hyped products of 2009, but within months of its launch, the buzz had almost completely disappeared." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
