Time to Wave goodbye

It's official, Google's first attempt at social media, Google Wave (Google Wave Blog), will be officially stopped on April 30,2012.

While this tool never got any support from users, I'm sure it gave Google a lot of great insights into social media and allowed them to develop Google+.

Now let's just hope that Google+ doesn't suffer the same fate, but judging by the news today that Britney Spears is now the most popular person on G+ in front of Larry Page, I think there's no reason to worry (or maybe worry about why people would follow Britney in the first place!).

So long Wave

It is also a great testimonial for all of us working day in day out in SEO and trying to convince companies that there are huge benefits to work with search marketing experts.
