In May 2009, the cyberspace was thrilled when Google had launched Google Wave as a tool to revolutionize the way people communicate.
The elation, though, lasted only for 14 months as Google announced that it will discontinue the service. One of the main reasons as assessed by analysts on why the service ended too soon is because it is too complicated. The fundamental design of the service is to allow association among different users via instant messages, documents, drawings, task lists, calendar and many more. But the service is not easy to appreciate and has proved to be confusing to several users who are comfortable to the plainness of other social networks.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that one of their policies is to try things out and they rejoice with their failures. However, some economic analysts do not believe in a similar way.
A few weeks ago when Google announced to the public its second-quarter revenue this year, advised that the company was too expanded and as a result it is losing ground in the search market.
And there are more potential justifications for the termination of Google Wave. The company is launching its computer operating system "Google Chrome OS" based on the same principle: "Our computer activities are conducted mainly within the browser and no longer on the desktop."
Simultaneously on the Internet, there are many buzz that the company might be working on a social network like Facebook called "Google Me."
This plan, according to speculations, could slot in elements of Wave and Google Buzz, the social platform mail service Gmail.
