Hype is a powerful thing, but behind all great marketing has to be (at the very least) a good product. Otherwise it’s little more than noise.
Google Wave set out to be a solution to a problem that most people don’t have.
Which is why, according to Business Insider, web visits to Google Wave have dropped sharply.
Having used it myself, I can understand why. It’s confusing, buggy, and as good as pointless.
Next stop: the iPad.
That’s the end of unsuccessful story that possibly should have never start. The usefulness of that “gadget” is comparable to 0, such as the stats shows us.
[...] Google Wave bye-bye [...]
While there was a tremendous amount of hype about Google Wave, I for one felt it did live up to the hype – it’s just not ready for prime time yet. It came out as an extremely limited Alpha release.
People got so caught up with the hype that many non-techies jumped on board and never even figured out how to use it. The people like myself that did figure it out were amazed with the potential, especially in the public waves, but saw it has a long way to go before it’s ready for the mainstream.
In short, I think it’s naive to count it out just yet… Give it a couple of years.
