R.I.P. Google Wave

Anybody remember Google Wave? You don’t? Oh, well then, apparently you aren’t alone. Google announced that they are going to stop development on Wave. They are going to keep the service maintained until the end of the year and eventually release tools to get your content from Wave off the service. Kinda sad that Wave didn’t catch on because it was a pretty neat tool with some nice potential. If you don’t know, Wave is like a sort of mashup between a message board, a chat room, email, and Facebook. It was pretty ambitious and a lot of people didn’t really dig into it and look into all the neat extensions that were made for it. Oh well, hopefully they take some lessons learned from Wave and put it to use in the future.
