No Real Use for Google Wave?

with 3 comments

I can’t seem to think of a very practical use for Google Wave. IMHO it’s a technology that’s neither here nor there. It’s not a very effective replacement for e-mail either as it’s not a scalable model. It’s not exactly a great collaborative tool as well though I agree maybe it has good use for taking meeting minutes and random notes. It’s certainly not a good file sharing or document editing tool.

I’ve been thinking quite a bit on what I can really do with Wave. It’s frustrating actually :P

On a side note, it’s surprising how the ancient DNS and SMTP protocols we take for granted scaled so well. IETF and IEEE are a bunch of geniuses.
