Hell I was on Google Wave for the few months it was a thing.

@emsquared I thought it would be perfect for a client's needs, and I was working how to do that just as it got canned. Someone tried to fork it IIRC, but I assumed it died out.

@emsquared I pondered joining Google's last attempt
"please for the love of god somebody just just look at us, even just once, out of sheer pity, we just need that 90s hit counter to have been worth the ten million"
but it seemed a bit needy

@spytfyre Amazing Google bodged it really but there you go. Google seemed benign in the early years then....

@simon I was more excited by Wave at the time.Real time seemed a good move. Kind of though they'd integrate it into Mail and business stuff but no, the old cut and run

@emsquared I did my space for all of two weeks before everybody said they'd left and gone to face book.
I even tried ello.co but that quickly became fo.sakes with all the:
"My etsy store failed because nobody appreciated my genius art/music/poetry so here I am among those that will love me, because we're all the same. No my page is better. Worship ME" types. -
@emsquared It probably started as someone's 20% project, and apparently even the successful ones can get canned by someone like the creator's line manager.

@spytfyre Ah MySpace. Even Murdoch couldn't make that work. Never really did FB. Ran accounts for other people but never did anything personally. What a tangled Web we weave.

@simon Well once the managers fail to see how something could be easily monetized or even if they just don't get it or grasp the infrasture required to do what's needed then pulling it becomes the easy option I guess.
