Uncertainty is a feature, not a bug.
Betaworks’ Andrew Weissman to [gbattle] via GTalk in response to the backlash to Google Wave because they haven’t even suggested a monetization path for the product. If you embrace innovation, foster utility and value, and allow externalized innovation through open APIs and transparency, the uncertain road toward monetization will appear eventually (assuming you have the liquidity and persistence to find it). Do people still not understand that for Google, the bigger the web gets, the more important search becomes, the more inventory Google has to monetize? Grow the pie, and keep making money via the same monetization path you do now as long as it scales with the growth.
whit adds: Andrew Weissman is some kind of freakish human gzip: given an idea as input, Andy returns that idea in its most elegantly compressed form.
