What problems does Google Wave solve?

I believe this is partly Google’s fault: they released Wave to geeks and hackers and social media folks first. But Wave is not a geek/hacker tool, or a social media tool, it’s a corporate tool that solves work problems (more on that later). On the other hand, they never claimed it would be a Facebook replacement or a Twitter killer. Google calls wave an “online tool for real-time communication and collaboration”. The way Google should have advertised Wave is: “it solves the problems with email”.

举双手赞同。

本来我是想拿Google Wave当作益学会协作平台用的,可收到邀请并使用一段时间后,发觉不实际。原因:

  1. 拿两三年前的本本跑wave会卡,即使浏览器是chrome;
  2. wave是新环境,让用惯email的同学转过来需要花很长时间。

据我观察,目前wave上有这么几种现象:

  1. 纯粹新鲜劲儿,疯狂试用各种功能;
  2. 本来IM就能解决的事放到wave上来;
  3. 一帮没有业务往来的人一起杀时间。

以上所有现象均违背了Google Wave的根本用途:getting work done. 所以,wave不挨骂才怪呢。

小贴士:你可以用 Google ReaderGoogle Buzz 订阅这个博客。
