btw, here is the Google blog version:

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/update-on-google-wave.html

"But despite these wins, and numerous loyal fans, Wave has not seen the user
adoption we would have liked. 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."

I frankly can't believe that Google is going in this direction, buying up
profitable gaming companies and canning potentially useful software research
because not enough users start using an unfinished product.

btw, where does the 60 + engineers number come from?  I have a difficult
time believing anything close to that number were assigned, esp. recently.
