Google announced today it will cease development on Google Wave.

I’M NOT SURPRISED.

I do give Google credit for making the right decision though. It’s hard to admit you were wrong after investing so much and escape the sunk cost fallacy.

Personally, I played with Google Wave once and attempted to use it to collaborate on a project another time. In the latter “attempt,” I can’t say I didn’t get the concept. I just didn’t care to learn. I found no compelling benefit of using it.
