It's all washed up!

It was too complex for people (who are not Shog9) to comprehend. I will say it was ahead of it times so it did not succeed. However, the nice thing is that lot of the underlying technology is being used elsewhere (Google docs for instance).

[Dr Walt Fair PE]

Yes, it looks like the tide has turned.

The execs probably had a sinking feeling before they jumped ship.

Or maybe they were still waiting for their ship to come it.

It was a gamble that they could stay on board before the riptide pulled them out to sea their product sink.

The problem was that they didn't have a tsunami of interest and had to jump ship.

Hopefully this slip up doesn't cause their stock to take a dive.

I'd guess that it has receded from the high stand.

Most likely plunged to the lowest depths possible.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files. Visit the Hindi forum here.

Perhaps this dropped product will lead them to float a new idea, or at least whet their appetite for something that floats their boat.

More likely they just put it on the (continental) shelf.

I guess we'll find out if it has a ripple effect.

I found it distinctly underwhelming.

Conclusion - Never invest in over ambitious project even if you have a great track record of producing industry leading products. Classic Examples - Toyota, iPhone 4G(Apple is still struggling on it) and now Wave. Wave never attract me enough to get an invitation from friends.

Not marketed enough and not explained enough. As far as I can tell the only people using it in my company are those whose job is to sell ideas.

Never used it, but google docs is nice. Also, the replies to the OP make the shape of a crashing wave...

[peterchen]

If it's gone South, does that make it a Mexican wave?
