This is a real travesty. To cancel Wave due to lack of adoption is pretty short-sighted.
Wave wasn't fully developed, it needed better integration with legacy tools like e-mail, and it needed a fully functional open sourced platform such that federation would be possible. Without these, to hope for mass adoption is foolish, and without mass adoption of course, the expected success will remain a dream. Wave didn't progress past the stage of being a very advanced technology demonstration for the above mentioned reasons, it's like when GM killed the electric car: it wasn't the fault of technology, but of bad strategy. So I guess we'll be stuck with e-mail and a variety of IM "standards" for decades to come... ...all I can hope is that Google at least open-sources all the things they wrote to get Wave to this point, so maybe the community picks up and fulfills the promise of Wave.
