I should point that google has already released its wave server code here: http://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/source/browse/ And yes, email will be here for a long time to come, for a multitude of reasons. If we thought IE6 was sticking around for too long, imagine what it will be like with email :p HI Olivier,

And yes, email will be here for a long time to come, for a multitude of reasons. If we thought IE6 was sticking around for too long, imagine what it will be like with email :p

Agreed the Sandbox is/was very very buggy. The preview instance seems more stable. However i'm sure "technology pioneers" would appreciate/recognise the achievement so far with the GoogleWave client so far in the developer preview. Also let's not forget the most important point, till you have a decent number of your contacts on GoogleWave if is completely useless! But it’s all about the Wave Protocol and less about the client.

Did bittorrent killed ftp? Did facebook killed... anything??? :-)) It will be one more tool but... no company will EVER leave its control on the messaging to google, so email will last long, long, long... Even if google releases a free private Wave server for companies to own, the cost of change will be so high that they won't switch before long... Wave: another nice tool... but nothing more...

People have expected far too much of Google's particular version of its client, and very few people are paying enough attention to the potential of the federated protocol. Would be great to see a list of ideas for developers to be getting on with. For the willing but imagination-lacking! Great article.
