Why Google wave may not appeal you at a glance? – Part 1
When Google announced about Google wave, there were a lot crazy talks around, about this new Google tool. As has always been about Google products, it was expected to be somewhat more out of one’s expectations. Many expected it to change the way of their communication as Twitter or Facebook has done. Everyone was excited to get an invite and explore it more but all that feeling got dull when one got an actual invite.
Why it is not appealing me ?
Google wave is currently in preview stage and not fully released. It is not fully developed and lack many features and there are some bugs even.
As the case may be with most of us, we don’t have many friends added in the account. That limits our use. Besides, it prevents much hands on experience.
Its looks are very similar to that of an outlook or a Gmail application, that doesn’t sound exciting. It gives you a feel like doing a routine task of checking mails. And that is true. Google wave is designed to give more advantages for business tasks.
When you actually to get to work, you find it very similar to an IM conversation or like an email chain. Nothing seems to be much new here.
Slow response.
Some features, like real time messaging and editing any response, add more on to Cons rather than Pros.
