What is Google Wave?

I wanted Google Wave, but I got Microsoft Teams instead. Biggest disappoint in the history of disappointments.

@blaine This almost happened! #GoogleWave

The code for Google Wave is still out there, and presents an opportunity to resurrect this great product!

I can't help but think that #Mastodon realized some of the lost potential that could have been #GoogleWave.

@matrix

> by design, the #Matrix #protocol cannot scale as well as #XMPP or #MQTT protocols. At the heart of Matrix protocol, you have a kind of merging #algorithm that reminds a bit of #GoogleWave. It means that a conversation is conceptually represented as a sort document you constantly merge on the server. This is a consuming process that is happening on the server for each message received in all conversations. That’s why Matrix has the reputation to be so difficult to scale.

#Mastodon is turning into what #Google had promised us all would be the future with #GoogleWave.

#GOOG seems to be thinking that this is the kind of interface we want to work with.

This looks a lot like #GoogleWave, tbh.
