What happend to Google Wave?

It was supposed to be next generation of how the people would communicate. However, all of the sudden Google has called the plan over, without being finished. It was meant to be the largest project ever created to develop a software, with tons of collaborators and millions of new ideas.

Critics of it, say that Wave was simply to ambitious to what's already available in the market. People also said that is was so different from was it is available in the market right now, getting people to switch to it would have taken unmeasurable hours and efforts.

This is my version and the reason of why Wave didn't make it:
Even though it was too ambitious I think it was unveiled to early to the public, it was really frustrating for user like me, to not being able to have access to it in its early stages and being kept of having it for more than 6 months. When it was finally opened to everybody in May, most of the people who requested access to it wasn't informed about it. People like we had to find out by ourselves.

I think the idea is still doable and I think it will catch on, very easy as the time goes by, which will give google and its collaborators the time to make improvements.

Now nobody is using it because its access was limited given the expectation created over it, I think Google relaunch it redefining its strategy.
