Google has always had incredible strength in each of their products.
But that was part of the problem -- each product is siloed and they
don't work well together. They also don't even acknowledge the
existence of sites beyond google.com's borders, which is understandable
but ultimately missing out on value for consumers.
I'm quite impressed with what the Google Wave team has done, though.
With the right cross-site / API features, this could become 10x more
powerful than what the Facebook platform was supposed to be.
Their Google Wave API is being released tomorrow. I can't wait to have
a crack at it.
