    It's too early for a Sunday

    Wave was hype, sucked, thus is dead!

    Google Maps is good, but unfortunately led to the invasion of privacy and security call Street View, which collected too much EM (visible and WiFi) detail!

    sad about Wave's demise

    From the reports I've read I'm probably glad I hadn't used the current version of Google Wave, but being on a transatlantic project with documents flying around via sharepoint (on separate sites no less) and email and with a few IM conversations has made me interested as to whether the Wave of the future could improve things.
