Google Wave was sold to us as a better replacement for e-mail. That was its main feature! It definitely died.

Sure they took some of the pieces and reused them in other products, but Wave definitely died.

10 years ago, I collaborated on Word docs by making changes and emailing it back. We’d look at revision histories to keep track.

Now the only email is the one that gives the link to the online document.

And I was the person who had to merge two peoples work if they both made changes on the same day with the 'master' copy.

Sometimes I wonder how we got out of that era alive.
