The BBC and tech blogs online are reporting on Google's decision to discontinue Wave. The article says Google won't be developing to project but may move it into other projects (wonder if it'll fit in with their gaming plans).
The instant message email service was launched to change how users share information and talk online. Though to drop of the project is said to be from a lack of users using the service from Google. I recall Wave was reported as competition for Twitter, Facebook and other new social network websites.
"Speaking at Techonomy, a technology conference in Lake Tahoe, California, Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said it was hard to say why Wave did not strike a chord with a majority of users.
"It's a very clever product. You never know why it didn't work."-BBC

I repeatedly gave it a go but I just didn't get Wave. Even after watching simple explanation videos, I didn't feel like I really *needed* it.
