Google Wave started out with a bang. An Internet giant like Google doesn't need to market its product, because a lot of influential internet users are willing to do that for them and that too free of cost. The reason behind this is that Google has made a reputation of a company which makes products and services that revolutionise the way we use the internet. Google wanted to enter the booming social media market and wanted to compete with social media giants like Facebook and Twitter.The concept behind Google Wave was to start a social form of G-mail, where a group of people can communicate with each other in a single thread and can post videos, images and files in real time. It was the amalgamation of chat, file sharing and social networking.
Months before being launched, articles from sites like Techcrunch and Mashable gave us a sneak peek to the new application and showed us what the application had in store for us. It was such an interesting concept that Twitter was flooded with tweets minutes after the news was out. Google Wave was launched with a lot of speculation. It started out as an invite only application and the first users who got an invitation were the ones using Sandbox. In the first few weeks, everybody was dying to get their hands on the new product by Google. Many weeks have gone by and Google Wave has opened their gates to everyone. But as the mystery of the Google Wave has unfolded, it has turned out that Google Wave has failed expectations.
