I wanted Google Wave, but I got Microsoft teams and...Discord(?) instead. Ugh

#GoogleWave

Imagine if that cool Google Wave demo had not been discontinued and we were using it for everything.

We'd really be up shit creek now. No need for Microsoft Recall

Luckily #GoogleWave didn't scale, but a truly #p2p version, secure, private and without Google starts to look possible. 🤔

#Wave

For those on nostalgia trips today on 1 Jan. 2025, who remembers Google Wave? I was cleaning out my virtual attic and found this gem introducing this "personal communication and collaboration tool" 15 years ago.

I didn't watch the whole thing (life is too short), but I giggled a bit. I always thought Google Wave was too "bouncy" - my very technical term. You started to write in it, and then because someone else was posting something, everything "bounced" around, and you had to scroll back and forth a bit to see if you had missed any new info. That really annoyed me, and I have never seen it since, thank goodness. Maybe it was cool in 2009. That feels like a lifetime ago. I miss it like I miss Google Plus... Not. #GoogleWave #nostalgia

Comprendo la fascinación que provoca la escritura a varias manos. Hace tiempo probé #GoogleWave y me pareció que abría posibilidades creativas y de edición enormes. No cuajó una revista que entonces quería hacer y al poco tiempo Google mató el proyecto.

No hay libertad creativa (individual o colaborativa) si no tienes control sobre la herramienta, y tampoco si el dueño de la herramienta puede censurarte de forma punitiva (como lo hace #GoogleDocs contra sus usuarios).

Participating in a future scanning session for the world of #ScholarlyPublishing and #ScholarlyResearch with a 5yr horizon. Have done my traditional 'it's #GoogleWave people! Pitch.

Interesting that #Balkanisation of knowledge is being muttered about.
