Google has announced that it will be dumping “Google Wave”.
In it’s Official Blog it announced the culling of 7 of its products that simply didn’t take off as they originally expected.
Having been a person who tried and failed to make any sense of Wave when it first came out, I can quite understand its muted response from the world at large. On the few occasions I used it, I was left feeling underwhelmed and slightly confused. In a world in which Google usability reigns supreme, Wave was a thorn in it’s own side.
The good news of all this, is that (apparently) this will free up resources to concentrate on the development of Google’s other fledgling services. (Read Google+)
You have to hand it to them. When Google knows it was wrong, it admits it. Eventually.
