Google Wave Offered As ‘Wave in a Box’

Google Wave tried to be the next big thing and didn’t quite make it, but that doesn’t mean that all that effort is going down the drain when Google decided to shut it down. Google has promised to keep Wave alive at least until the end of the year, and now the search engine giant has confirmed that it will release most of the Wave code, dubbed “Wave in a Box“. The code will allow developers to continue the job where Wave left off, and we’re really looking forward to seeing what developers will be able to come up with. Who knows, maybe some developer will come up with a cool social networking application that will seriously challenge Facebook?
