Sorry - I was unclear on this. I mean the fact that Google has been promising so much for so long and I'm still waiting for this "Wave" to topple over the collaboration management world. They keep releasing promises faster than products.
And all their products are incredibly boring. The more I have thought the comparison that Google is today's Microsoft, the more I think it's accurate. They are pushing into every market, release products that wouldn't survive without the brand and all the products are very boring and uninspired. I just can't see Google become a company that produces good products. They make money, a lot - it's a perfect money making machine, but that's all they are. Or let's say that their ONE product of 187 products is making huge amounts of money which supports the rest. If Google was to face downturn, I wonder how many products would get killed.
And let's face it, Google Wave is nothing more than chat channel with editable HTML messages - how unimpressed I am. There's so many things Google doesn't seem to get that I'm embarassed for them. If they really understood the core of Google Wave, they would have already made a ready-product. So there's two options here: They either are really fucking blind and can't see the forest from the trees OR they have tested it in the different environments and it didn't produce any additional value against traditional systems.
They have all the resources in the world and they produce shit. That is completely unforgivable in my eyes.
