Why Google Wave is useless (with invites giveaway)

November 20, 2009 | 1 Minute Read

"Google Wave"

  • You need to have it open in your browser to appear online
  • Nobody is ever online for that exact reason
  • All my contacts disappeared: For no apparent reason, none of my contacts are showing in wave right now… Kind of reduces the usability.
  • Too many ads in independently developped “gadgets”
  • 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
