Google Wave gets canned

Oh Google Wave, we hardly knew thee. Google announced today on their official blog that there won't be any more development for Wave, and the service will be shut down towards the end of the year. Wave, which Google thought would revolutionize internet communication, didn't see the user adoption that Google was hoping for. It was an innovative service for sure, but in our experience the service was just too complicated and unorganized for the average user. That being said, a lot of the technology was great, and Google says they hope to use bits and pieces of wave in other technologies they're working on. So long Google Wave, we'll pour one out for you.
