Annnd its dead  Heartbreak

But despite these wins, and numerous loyal fans, Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked. We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product, but we will maintain the site at least through the end of the year and extend the technology for use in other Google projects.

Funny just started using this for an idea sharing and documentation wiki for a project. Works really well for shared documentation vs deploying a solution (MediaWiki/SharePoint).

They needed to get the self operated servers up and running to get some real adoption. We were excited to use it at work, but we didn't want to use a hosted solution.

Really disappointing. I still think something like this is going to replace corporate email servers someday, I'm unhappy that it apparently isn't going to be soon.

Pisses me off.  It was great for school work with classmates, but getting people into it was annoying.  It's like hammering boards across the front door of your store and wondering why business is so poor.

Google, I am disappoint.

Is Google Buzz next?

"Should the batman kill Joker because it would save more lives?" is a fundamentally different question from "should the batman have a bunch of machineguns that go BATBATBATBATBAT because its totally cool?". ~Goumindong

Google wave pretty much turned into Google Buzz.

I'd be surprised to see Buzz die. It's taken off with my school friends as our primary way to keep in touch. It's integration into GMail seems to have really helped it's adoption.

Seems like Google has a hard time to monetize anything besides search.  Gmail worked out, but search is still something like 95% of their revenue.
