Oh man, I knew there were a lot but I had no idea.

I remember when Google Wave was demo'ed to a live audience, there were audible ooohs and aaahs from the crowd. It was such a mindblowing idea 14 years ago, shame it never really got off the ground.

Two things killed it.

First, it was a slow resource hog. Second, it was productivity software at a time when work IM was hard to get people to use.

Google wave wasn’t really killed. It’s functionality is pretty much built into google docs.
