Wave! What Is It Good For?

Absolutely nothing! Yes, I know it's just sad that I'm referencing Springsteen.

After lurking on a few Wave RPGs, I finally decided to try playing in one. I suspect that makes me one of the few people that has found something to do on Wave. Note carefully however, I didn't say it was a useful something.

People who expect technology to do useful things, are out of luck on Wave. That means that a lot of people are activating their accounts, logging in once, poking around a bit, concluding Wave is useless, and never ever logging in again.

I've concluded that Wave requires you to imagine a use for it, before it becomes useful. Seriously. That's so stupidly counter-intuitive that I reached a second conclusion:

Google probably doesn't know what Wave is good for either.
