Google Wave

It was somewhat of a surprise that Google pulled the plug on the Wave after what I thought was such a short period of time. It has been a bit over a year, hardly long enough for most to learn about the application, but in the 2.0 world I guess that is long enough. The beta testing on Microsoft Office 2010 seemed almost as long...it makes you wonder just exactly what the indicators  are for success of a new application. If it had been up to me, Facebook would never have been a success, because I refused to get on board with it until January 2009 and never did much more than create a profile and add some favorite metal bands to Myspace. IT all just leaves me scratching my head....
