Thanks to Google for recognizing and adjusting to the feedback.

I still wish they could be more responsive at the individual level -- although I have some outside understanding of the logistical and resource challenges such demands must place.

Nonetheless, Wave technology got a new home. Google Video content will survive. Good things.
