Google Drops Wave

In a surprising development Google has decided to drop its Wave social-collaborative capability by year's end. Some of the functionality will be included in other services. I only knew a few people that used it. I played with it for a few hours. A minor backpedal in the rush to infinite social connectivity, which gives me a slight pause of relief. For more on that read William Power's Hamlet's Blackberry. (You can read some of it at the link) I will review further later.
