Google Wave to Rise Again on Its Own

mashable.com — Google Wave was once one of Google's hottest projects, promising a new way of communication that might even replace email. Alas, it was not to be, and Google shut it down soon after public launch due to lack of user adoption - but not completely.Wave still draws interest from users, although it turned out to be more of a niche product than a massively disruptive tool. Recently, Google promised to keep Wave alive at least until the end of the year and to open source some parts of it.Now, Google has finally decided what to do with Wave. According to a recent blog post, Google will release most of the Wave code in the form of an (almost) complete application, which Google calls "Wave in a Box."For exact deatils on what this bundle will include go here, but it seem to be enough for developers to pick up where Wave left off and create their own, complete app based on the code.Yes, Wave was a failure in Google's hands, but we'll sure that developers will find a way to instill new life into the project. Who knows, maybe soon we'll see a better Wave, and maybe this new version will (finally) conquer the hearts of users.For more Tech coverage:Follow Mashable Tech on TwitterBecome a Fan on FacebookSubscribe to the Tech channelDownload our free apps for iPhone and iPad Sep 3, 2010 View in Crawl 4
