A good look at the problems Google Wave really does solve — primarily centering around business email:
I believe this is partly Google’s fault: they released Wave to geeks and hackers and social media folks first. But Wave is not a geek/hacker tool, or a social media tool, it’s a corporate tool that solves work problems (more on that later). On the other hand, they never claimed it would be a Facebook replacement or a Twitter killer. Google calls wave an “online tool for real-time communication and collaboration”. The way Google should have advertised Wave is: “it solves the problems with email”.
The article also discusses a few key shortcomings with conventional email. Would you solve them the same way?
Campaign Monitor, one of the best email marketing software platforms around, released some really useful and interesting email client stats today. More than 300 million uniques is a pretty solid sample size:
It continues to blow us away just how quickly the iPhone is moving mobile email forward. The iPhone now caters for 5.78% of the email client market, breezing past Gmail to become the 5th most popular email client in the world.

We figured it was a safe assumption that more and more people would be moving from traditional desktop email clients to web-based email clients. While it’s certainly clear many of us are shifting to reading our emails on a mobile device, the same can’t be said for web-based email clients. The market share for both Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail has more or less plateaued over the last six months.
Outlook’s share faltered a bit, with 2007 getting a modest gain, but 2000/2004 falling.
When was the last time you were really glad you deleted an email sent to your personal address?
