Just for the anonymous record... I came up with the design for Google Wave, it was a protocol I was working on. I won't name names but I met someone whose name rhymes with Cint Verf at a charity dinner and in a stupid attempt to impress him hoping he'd want to do business described every aspect of the exact product they came out with over a series of emails 8 months before Google published Wave.
Just to include me in the development somehow would have meant so much to me, instead I feel stabbed in the back by someone who was a hero to me. It's my fault because I foolishly told him and I didn't publish my code first but that's still how I feel.
