Google Wave is now history. Google has decided to discontinue Wave but the technology behind that will be used in other products. I was one of the beta testers for Google Wave and have developed quite a lot of extensions for it. It is sad to know that Google is stopping the development on Wave. From the Google’s official blog post:
“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. The central parts of the code, as well as the protocols that have driven many of Wave’s innovations, like drag-and-drop and character-by-character live typing, are already available as open source, so customers and partners can continue the innovation we began. In addition, we will work on tools so that users can easily ‘liberate’ their content from Wave.”
