Hi

Didn't think it was going to last as long as e-mail did...

" Google drops Wave because of lack of users By Maggie Shiels 
Technology reporter, BBC News, Silicon Valley  
Google is waving goodbye to Wave, a product which the company said 
would transform the way people communicate online.   It blamed poor 
take-up by users of the service, which was launched to great fanfare 
just one year ago.   At the time Google described the tool as "how e-
mail would look if it were invented today".  It combined e-mail, 
instant messaging and features that allowed people to collaborate on 
documents in real-time.  "
