In Memoriam, Google Wave: Here’s The Tech I Want Them To Migrate

Google Wave died yesterday. It’s all pretty sad. Remember, it’s the product we didn’t know what was? Well since no-one ever found out, Google is retiring the product to web-app elysium, picking it for spare parts.

Here’s the spare parts I want them to migrate from Wave to Google Docs, Gmail and wherever else appropriate:

  • The silky smooth drag and drop to upload images into docs and emails
  • The live typing in shared docs
  • The super easy sharing of waves to docs
  • The embeddability of docs and spreadsheets and whatnot

Wave kan take its scrollbars with it to the grave, however.
