As we announced in August 2010, we are not continuing active development of Google Wave as a stand-alone product, but have been working hard on the open source Wave in a box project and on making waves accessible through Google Docs.

We wanted to let you know that we will keep wave.google.com running past December 31, 2010 until a suitable replacement to host all your waves is available. In the meantime, you can now use the export feature to download a zipped version of up to ten waves at a time.

Additionally, Wave in a Box, the project to make it easy for anyone to host their own wave server, has made significant progress on both functionality and community growth. Just last week, the Apache Software Foundation accepted Wave into its incubator for new projects.
Thanks yet again to all our users for giving Wave a try with your schools, businesses and organizations and to the developers who are working on the next steps for the open source project!:D
 
I like(d) wave :(. It was handy to talk to friends sparingly throughout the day whilst at work.

These other projects sound interesting.
 
It died within the first week of launch. Forget about it :) Same fate for "Google Buzz".

when used right Wave was and is an incredibly useful tool for work-collaboration.

we used it this year and last year when doing group coursework and it has saved our asses many times.

we'll be very sad to see it go :(
 
Shame to see wave go. Great technology - way ahead of its time. It's good to see the collaborative gadgets live on.
