I signed up for this months ago and to be honest the only time I looked at it was the few hours after signing up. It was an interesting product.

They do state in the official announcement that parts of it will be used as part of other products so I doubt this is necessarily the full end of it.

We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product, but we will maintain the site at least through the end of the year and extend the technology for use in other Google projects.
