Google tried it the other way via Google Wave and unfortunately nobody bought into it.
- georgieporgie 15y agoGoogle Wave is probably the single worst introduction of a new technology that I've ever seen. To this day, I have no idea what it actually was or was for. All I know is that it did everything, but nothing, and it did it simultaneously in shared sessions.
- sylvinus 15y agoRegarding the rendering technologies it was exactly the same, a big pile of JS that you need to render actual content. The main point of the author seems to be that G+ doesn't use progressive enhancement.
- hm2k 15y agoJesus, downvotes for mentioning Google Wave. I was specifically responding to this part: >A web where re-sharing of content is limited by the platform, not by the capabilities of your client. A web where you cannot comment on an article unless registering in a corporate namespace (which kicked you out if you happened to choose a name they do not particularly like). The point was that Google tried it open, it didn't work. Facebook is closed, they tried that. Is it working?
