Google Wave

So Google Wave is dead.

I was those who were excited about the potential of Google Wave when it came out. I understand the issues with email and the goal of replacing it with something more powerful and flexible seemed like a solid idea. A crazy and audacious goal perhaps, but that just made me like it all the more.

Yet I never even tried Google Wave. I heard too many reports that it was overwhelming and so I thought I’d give them time to fix things first.

It doesn’t look like they managed to do that.

But I still believe in the idea. It’s the project itself that failed.
