What Google Wave Tried To Do--And Abjectly Failed At

Description

Ten years ago,Google introduced a tool that was meant to transform the communications space. Company brass introduced what it called a “magical” new web app that combined email, messaging, and other features like social media and event-planning into a single funky, do-it-all tool called Wave. According to Gizmodo, Wave was extraordinarily ambitious in its quest to do nearly everything, including reimagining the limits and functionality of email. But in spite of itself, and primarily because its tools were exceptionally confusing, Wave wasn’t long for this world. Just a year after announcing the product, Google announced that it was putting the tool out of its misery. The company said in a blog post at the time Wave had “not seen the user adoption we would have liked."
