RIP Google Wave
Not only Wave but also Google Bookmarks List, Google Friends Connect, Google Gears,
Google Search Timeline, Knol and Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal bite the dust |

Well, if Google made at least two entries in their official blog about Wave being scrapped
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/...ogle-wave.html http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/...of-season.html what's wrong with repeating this information here? |

Personally, I like Google Voice. It provides a local telephone number and voice mail with "do not disturb" functionality so that I never have to be bothered....ever.

I always thought there was something dodgey about Google.

Forget Google.
Why invest any time with google services ? They discontinue services like notebook and public bookmarks on a whim.
I won't waste any time with google services because I assume the services I want won't be around very long. They don't have a very good track record, in my opinion. I use their search engine and nothing more than that. |

Zoho Docs
I fiind zoho docs a superior product to google docs -- there are more options and more flexibility.
Oh, there use to be "google pages" that you could create, like web pages. They discontinued that, too.Then they went to "google sites". They said they would convert your "google pages" to your "google sites" account. It never happened for me. |
