Poll: What do you think of Google Wave?

If it works as it could, I'd hate to think how many startups just because completely obsolete. Our wiki, internal laconica, document sharing and collaboration software will probably all die if this works.

And these things will die because they have been superseded by something superior. What is the bad thing in that? That is what startups are all about after all.

In addition, there will be tons and tons of new opportunity to build on this. I suppose one can hate the fact that the Internet killed a lot of BBSs, but it sure created more opportunity to build an industry than what these BBSs offered.

Agreed, it's just part of the cycle.

I just feel for those startups who are now superseded, that's all. I know how hard they are working, and there must be a lot of frantic board meetings happening right now.
