I was in grad school when Wave hit. I was dumb founded when they cancelled it. I've heard only a very few people whom tried it say they didn't think it was awesome, which leads me to believe they didn't kill it because of a lack of viability at all - they killed it because it competed with other strategic initiatives, imho. This would have been the pre-slack killer easily. Looking at it's features (in conversation threads, drag and drop photos, adding folks to conversations, etc) one almost thinks it was the inspiration for slack even.
Anyway, Wave wasn't killed because it wasn't viewed as viable, it was killed for politics, which is probably why it's creators and engineers were so pissed off. Shame.
