Google wave and why it is not being developed.

Products like Google wave take a lot of resources to shape up.Even though the design teams cling to some standard google protocols they still spend a lot of time forming user-focused products.Grace chang, Google sydney helped develop Google wave.Unfortunately the development is stalled.Google made a splash with their demo launch video for Wave. The ripples flowed through the social web as some, me included, anticipated great things. It was Google after all, and when do they fail? (more often than you’d think, it turns out). Beyond the great Google stamp of awesome though, any communication product that could translate two-way conversations on the fly surely was a game-changer, right? That feature wasn’t even core to the product, in fact, it was almost mentioned as an afterthought — “… by the way,” the demonstrators seemed to say, “this Phaeton also turns into a plane. Moving on…”Later, (though, probably not soon enough later) the Wave was unleashed to general users with “limited” invites. They joined, linked up, and tried to ride the Wave.

And, if Google Trends had been hooked up to Wave, the highest term would have been “uh… What now?”

Days later, the Wave never hit the shore.The problem was no one knew who the product was for.Now though all the effort is not wasted and the technology is used in Google circle.But,There is lot to learn from mistakes a tech giant makes.
