As a beta user and big fan of Google Wave, finding this article about why the buzz as worn off and the product abandoned, really cleared up for me why it's never gone big.
Remember how it was the "future of email?" It was a trending topic on Twitter and tech nerds from all over were salivating for an invite. It was a big deal, through word-of-mouth marketing and viral buzz, the service was thriving. But without Google's official support, the buzz eventually died out and the brand ambassadors moved on to the next great technology.
It's still an incredibly useful service. Having depended on it to keep a team of eight on a brainstorm and then using it to coordinate with over 40 other students for one project, I will stand by Google Wave as an incredible service. That's why, if you're not on it and want to try it out, please comment. I still have eighteen invites and would love to get you connected with the service.
