- Google Wave is a new web application for real time communication and collaboration, designed to help you get things done with groups of people. Each wave is a live shared space on the web where people can work together with text, images, maps and more!

Wave was way ahead of time.. If you compare it with MS teams it was certainly better option. Google should bring it back..
Meghan Kambli I second that. I have planned my wedding with it. Unbeatable. The problem regarding adoption was not so much a matter of being ahead of its time but more about a paradigm shift in how you could work in parallel versus conventional serialized thinking. Even realtime conversation is a serial matter.
It should have been an advanced function as an integrated extension on gmail and solely for the purpose of simple article content creation or brainstorming. If it was intended for being the single contenthub fo cocreation then It should have been designed from a dashboard perspective.
I still miss Google Wave.
@@cykz70 are there tools now that are closer to it ? like slack, trello, notion or discord?
@@prabhanshurajpoot7419 whatsapp group is the same thing I believe
@@blav Not at all, Wave was a complete solution, integrating different sources and much more, as @meghan told 3 years ago, "ahead of time".

This was amazing! It fell off because it had a lack of popularity, and it occurred because it was not advertised properly. I don't know anyone who used it. It's a shame! Perhaps it will be back again in the future and prosper.
I was one of the lucky ones that had access to the beta and final roll out, but very sad that it didn't catch on. I want this feature back Google.
I never even heard of this until today.
_Same: 2020 Edition_
Starring: Me
wow! another new & great features from google!!
best application ever. can't believe it fell through. well, i suppose this world is not yet ready for wave's greatness.... oh well, we'll see it re-emerge in one form or the other in 5 years time. if parents are too stupid to get how this app works, then their children will enjoy it :)
Muxxyy sorry, it's been over 5 years. I think it's done.
Great foresight my friend. Dropbox paper, Notion, Quip, Slite, Bit and many other collaborative workspaces are doing the same thing. Google should bring it back now that the world is ready.
This comment actually did age well... (See Notion and Microsofts 2023 Loop announcement)
Loved Wave... Bring it back!
meet google workspace
The irony of this vs Notion and Microsoft Loop today...
I love how somehow we both ended up here today because of loop (i presume)
I love the music and the animation. Really fun and dynamic~!
God, I fucking miss Google Wave so much. This would be super for so many things today.
And this was discontinued why??
Adoption was non-existent. There are some very good ideas here though.
It’s google docs
it does work just like Google docs
Nope. Google Wave was very different from Docs, albeit much more functional. Wish it were here.
@@irixperson It was very similar to Docs, actually. The functionality was similar but aimed at a different purpose. And it's been confirmed many times that a lot of the underlying collaborative technology from Wave went into Docs.
Bring this back, and properly advertise it this time. *AND DON'T RUIN IT.*
It would work great if everyone was there.
But the problem is that no-one is using it, and there's no way (that I know of) to get your existing emails, chats, FB friends on to Wave.
There's no way (that I know of) to get your data out Wave.
And lastly, there's too much stuff available dumped onto the users all at once.
An incremental release of the various features (you know, as soon as people stops getting excited about chat enable the next one) would have also helped.
Didn't we have group chat back then?
take me back 😢
This app whas the one that set all the basis for Google Documents
Simple: Four course meal can not be served together. Similarly all features should not be dispensed on one platform. Each feature is a product in itself. Deal & develop them separately. UI should be much more simpler than Wave offered.
Since everyone on the web has an opinion, i do too. I'm a UX designer - stands for User Experience Design - a newish buzz word category which covers OLD SCHOOL range of web design elements such as usability design, information architecture, navigation design, transaction design, interaction design, information design, nomenclature (terminology) design -- all the elements that specify what the thing is, how it is used, but especially how it is predicted to be seen through the eyes of a user (2)
2020????
@bluelights1019 Actually this app created long time ago, but now its goes public
Discord before discord was discord.
Not even close. They're not even relatively close. Two totally different things.
Turns out that, in the end, people do perfectly fine with just e-mail and instant messaging.
@quicksite (2) contd: through the eyes of an end user -- particularly upon encountering a first look at the whole new website for first time -- and figuring out -- WHAT IS THIS THING? -- what does it do? -- how does it benefit me? -- what are its features? -- how do I get started? -- what can I expect it to accomplish for me? ...
The biggest problem I had as a beta user of Google Wave last year was: "NOMENCLATURE" .. A new real-time collaborative tool for groups or brainstorming in the (3)
Google+ does this and more, right?
This comment aged well 😀
@quicksite (6) CONTD -- they say it means "a unit of knowledge" -- That is actually beautiful & eloquent & perfect. A "wave"? No. A wiki? No. A BLOG? No. But we've gotten used to that one. But it took years before it penetrated mainstream. It took the Presidential campaign run of Howard Dean to break that into the mainstream because 1001 media outlets ALL had to do their repetitive story on "what makes the Dean campaign unique?There's this thing called a Meetup, & something called a BLOG"..
why was this killed?
Now its gone lol
It's sort of Slack, right?
Only before slack
@quicksite (4) CONTD -- it's a group collaborative thread where anyone can edit in real time. ME: Oh. Well that was simple. Why don't they just stick with MESSAGE or thread in the inbox? And allow people to grasp it as an ENHANCED MESSAGE with real-time collaboration? They can BRAND it as the product name, but do we need the FUNCTIONAL ITEM to be called a "wave"? No. That was its biggest mistake that kept hundreds of thousands of people from "getting" it right out the gate. There is an (5)
@quicksite (3) contd -- in the somewhat familiar body of and visual format of email? OKAY -- not a bad idea at all. Use of an INBOX? Excellent! These are conventions I am already familiar with.
So why is it that the product developers here thought it was crucial to the success of a new collaborative tool to have to give INCOMING MESSAGES or THREADS a whole new name -- now -- what is it? In your inbox, there is a WAVE? What, I asked I colleague. "A wave." What's a wave?" ... Well it's a (4)
@quicksite (9) CONT'D -- I thought there would be annotatable videos and drawing right on top of videos, and all of those kind of real-time shared whiteboarding tools - which had themselves been around for over 15 years in various products that had come and gone. So to me? To see that right hand pane -- and the big DEAL was inserting real-time comments from a group of people? THIS was worthy of a NEW FUNCTIONAL CATEGORY? No way. Had the inbox "thing" been a thread? That would've made sense. end
@quicksite (8) CONT'D -- reference for "what is a wave" -- other than -- we know a ocean wave, we know a wave in a stadium, we know a "hello" wave, but the big mistake of these product developers was, unknowingly, having the arrogance to think their thingamajig qualified for a whole new category of functional term. It didn't. And for me, when I finally discovered after my first day of using it with a bunch of folks - "wait a minute - THAT's all this is? I thought there would be annotatable
@quicksite (6) CONT'D -- but prior to that? NO ONE knew, other than bloggers and sycophants, WTF is a blog? And even if you spelled out its originating name: Web Log, it really doesn't accurately describe what a blog is. ... I've spent years in advertising, design, marketing and branding, so I fully understand the need for short, catchy words on which to hook a concept. But that's just it: Advertising, by its very nature, could succeed at taking a previously unknown sound, and turn it into
I miss Google Wave, and Allo.
@quicksite to the Hawaiian word wiki-wiki for "Hurry." ... What relevance does that have to a real-time collaborative, editable, knowledge base that maintains all prior iterations, you ask? NONE. And thus most of the world are consumers of wikipedia., not contributers. THANKS for that great name of the functional thing, engineers! The irony is, in THIS regardm Google got it right. Though they are reinventing the wheel with their own product, knol -- the name DOES sound congruent with what (6)
This is slack today ???
Let GPT punish google for delaying the future by shitcanning wave.
scrapped project. pity!
This failed because it was confusing AF. Basically 'chat email' with some super convoluted 'threading' of messages. God help anyone in the wave if someone started editing past messages. If they had kept a UX simple like a 'normal' chat, it might have a real chance, but no, in typical google fashion they over engineered it from day one - just look at the message edit bar shown in the video... Jesus.
