Google Wave

1. You need to have it open in your browser to appear online

2. Nobody is ever online for that exact reason.

3. All my contacts disappeared

For no apparent reason, none of my contacts are showing in wave right now… Kind of reduces the usability.

4. Too many ads in independently developped “gadgets”

5. Counter intuitive interface.

• “pinging” someone just opens a new wave with that contact : I could have done that myself… Do something more, like, I don’t know, send an email
• can’t search trough a list to add contacts that are on wave

And now (oh the irony) to the Wave invite giveaway.

Very easy : leave a comment on this post with your real email address, and on Monday at 12 GMT I’ll pick ten winners. (yes I have that many unused invites…)

Have a good weekend
