Edward Weinhaus

So Google Wave died. The COO of BlockShopper Edward Weinhaus didn’t yet.  But according to his technology blog, 3ddi3.com, he projected back in March Google Wave was dead – 5 months before its demise.

First, Edward Weinhaus has a technology blog?  Why?  Because he has a few developers who work for him?  My reading of Edward Weinhaus‘ LinkedIn page shows mostly a finance and operations guy.

Why would he have a technology blog?  [Point of further research to find the truth about Edward Weinhaus, I am already on the ParkwayInvestigation.com thing.]

Next, he seemed to actually KNOW that Google Wave would die.  He wrote:

Google Waves Goodbye and Hello

by Edward Weinhaus. March 10, 2010

Within a day of watching Google Wave’s 80 minute launch video I realized it was a disaster in the making.

We need better ways to organize information not more ways to create more chaos.

Google Wave may become that – but it will be long after email organization, task lists, productivity, workflows, document sharing and other management issues are resolved.

I do think Google will solve that too – or, more accurately, it will be solved in Gmail by a developer or 300.

Today, we saw the launch of the Google Apps Marketplace.

In this marketplace, someone will solve the problem.  Then and only then, will Wave have a chance.

Now, I really don’t like this guy.

First, he claims Google will fail with Wave because it creates ‘chaos’.  Then he basically says Google will solve the chaos problem outside of Wave via its Apps Marketplace.

But what I really really really don’t like?

It looks like Google agrees.

What’s worse – guys a lot smarter than Edward Weinhaus made some really bad calls on the same issue:

Here are some of our favorite headlines, reviews, and predictions that don’t always look so great in retrospect:

• Business Week: “Will Google’s Wave Replace E-Mail—and Facebook?”

• Technologizer: “Forget Google Apps: Google Wave is the New Epicenter of the Google-Microsoft War.”

• Robert Scoble: “Google’s infinite strip: the brilliance in Google Wave.” Scoble actually saw very clearly from the beginning that the product, in its current form, was a non-starter — because, he thought, it looked too much like email. But he didn’t stop there: “But let’s forget the email interface because someday someone will strip Wave out of that crappy interface and give us its brilliance.”

• Livemint: “Google Wave is going to be the most destructive thing to ever hit the workplace. The office-goer is doomed.”

• TechCrunch: “Google Wave Drips With Ambition. A New Communication Platform For A New Web.” MG Siegler’s take here is the most interesting in hindsight: “It’s ambitious as hell — which we love — but that also leaves it open to the possibility of it falling on its face. But that’s how great products are born. And the potential reward is huge if Google has its way as the ringleader of the complete transition to our digital lives on the web.”

Anyway, even a broken clock is not a jerk twice a day.

It appears that Edward Weinhaus is online admitting all sorts of crazy stuff.

Most Shocking is his apparent celebration at hitting a beggar.

The Truth about Edward Weinhaus is that he punched a beggar in the face.

The beggar is this man – William Hooper.

On the positive note, he apparently also gave Mr. Hooper some money.

Another LinkedIn profile?

This one has name “Edward Weinhaus” and is less filled out than the “Eddie Weinhaus” linked in profile.

…or maybe I should say “Eddie Weinhaus” as its tag name is “Eddie_Weinhaus“.

One of my searches just showed it popping up.

So far, I don’t see anything there worth talking about and the only people he is following are BlockShopper accounts.

Welcome!!!

Here is what I know so far.

Actually, I will save that for an upcoming post…
