Google Wave hätte die Art, wie wir über Internet kommunizieren und kooperieren, revolutionieren sollen. Nämlich in Echtzeit.

We showed character-by-character live typing, and the ability to drag-and-drop files from the desktop, even “playback” the history of changes—all within a browser. Developers in the audience stood and cheered.

Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked. We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product, but we will maintain the site at least through the end of the year and extend the technology for use in other Google projects.
