I haven’t Waved since December 25st #NSAGU

My name is Nicolai, and I am a NSAGU, but I haven’t Waved since December 25st. And I don’t think I am the only one that over the holidays just dropped of the Wave. The Wave is a flop. It has failed to become the new way of communication. It will need to integrate with email to keep its users. In addition to Wave have Google started Buzz. Buzz is in your gmail-box providing a lower “cost” for the user to adopt the tool. From day one can posts to twitter, your blog, piccasa, youtube etc be buzzed on your Buzz. I am not going to talk about privacy concerns, but Buzz gives you the opertunity to connect with people in your address book - your frequent contacts.

And with these new platforms Google provides users with about all you can think of in terms of communication. With Gmail, Gvoice, Gchat, GBuzz, GWave, GGroups, Knol, Google Friend Connect, Blogger etc.etc the search company is more than just search. They have it all. They have mastered search, and gmail is a success. And they will launch new services like Wave, Buzz and Voice to try to give us the next big thing. They will customize, combine and innovate to ensure that we “we tried it first at Google”. And if somebody else gets “it” first – they will buy it and Google-ish it. Just like they did with Blogger and Feedburner.

Btw. NSAGU. “Not So Anonymous Google User”.
