This is the end for Google Wave. In a blog post this afternoon, Google (Google) says they “don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product,” though the code for it will remain available as open source.
As users struggled to find meaningful use cases for the service, this product is come to a dead end, sadly. The product might’ve been more successful had it been integrated into Gmail (Gmail) (basic e-mail notifications weren’t even part of the launch), though Google hasn’t had much success with Buzz in that department either.
RIP
