- “Wave” Goodbye » Process for the Enterprise – some of the very shortcomings Google Wave started with.
Basic issues of connectivity – very few of our colleagues had Google Wave accounts. We couldn’t trivially add them even if they were Gmail or Google Apps users already.
Basic issues of control – once someone was added to a Wave you couldn’t remove them. And anyone could add someone. That kind of permissiveness actually reduces sharing.
Minor issues of control – the Google Maps mashup was promising. But I found you couldn’t control the location and sizing of the map presented – to show a specific region, at a specific zoom. Pretty well defeats the purpose.
