Google Wave - Flopped like the logo

I am sure many of you … I mean a few of you may have heard of something known as Google Wave. Google Wave was an idea of Google’s in which they would bring together all the different parts of communications in the whole that it would actually replace e-mail and Google as sadly mistaken.
