LOL, Google Wave a SharePoint killer LOL LOL.
Have you seen Google Sites? It was a “SharePoint killer when it was released”. However I found it to be soo disappointing and useless http://www.sharepointusecases.com/index.php/2008/09/sharepoint-vs-google-sites-docs/
Funny you had a discussion about this as I was thinking a lot about Google Wave and Groove last week… my opinion is a bit different… It is worth an article about this…
@Joel: I think the Google Wave demo answered your question from last week. Twitter is not killing Instant Messaging. Actually Twitter is just one component of IM.
SharePoint Samurai is pretty funny. Good to see he’s not driving while slicing!
There’s a little Kool-Aid drinking in this session with promotion of a Quest event and “Bing is really cool” but Google Wave isn’t. I’m sorry, Wave is written by the same two guys who created Google Maps. Bing? A marketing campaign promoting yet another rebranding of microsoft’s search engine for public sites. Why don’t they just call it search.microsoft.com and stop making us guess what their search brand is.
Tom, I take Google Wave seriously, the demo I saw was a game changer. Bing is worth a shot. That’s what I was saying.
After October and when we get beta code of both, I’d love to do a bake off.

Wave has a long way to go before it is considered serious competition to SharePoint
Good stuff guys. Yeah I think the contribution of Wave will be in the way of a paradigm shift which may impact future SharePoint features I bet. But I doubt it will actually deplete the use of SharePoint at all. All good I think.

Wave will probably be a bigger threat to Outlook because Google introduced it as “personal communication and collaboration tool”. If Microsoft is not ready for similar innovations this might a problem for them.
Microsoft release cycle is just too long (3 years), on the other hand Google can release every day. The price of licenses also counts. Google is FREE and in Microsoft world you need to purchase Exchange, hardware…
When it comes to emailing and stuff Google is no brainier for SME.
Joel, mostly I was just teasing. I like the show and promoting Bing is part of your personality. I wouldn’t change that.
Wave may not amount to anything, but I will follow that one very closely.
Wonderful broadcast. Thanks for listing links to read more about the topics! Keep up the good work.
