Sometimes things are better off dead than alive. Google introduced Wave, it’s real time communication with much fanfare at the Google I/O conference last year but has now announced to stop developing Wave “as a standalone project.”
The reason for it is quite obvious – not enough takers. Let’s be honest here, many users who have used Wave didn’t know why and what to use it for. Sure, it has some advantages but apparently not enough for an average consumer to see.
Google plans to maintain the site (wave.google.com) at least till the end of this year and will integrate some of Wave’s features in other Google projects in the future.
