When Wave came out I thought it was really cool and used it for several weeks. Then it wore off, we began using email for stuff we did on Wave, nobody was on Wave anymore, so it slowly died.
One of the major factors for me was the crappy, slow UI.
Also, I think Wave lacked CONTEXT. It was great for collaborative editing, but which kind? With friends about parties? With classmates about projects? With colleagues about code? With customers about products? It imported a few Gmail contacts from each group, not enough for either one to make sense in the long run. It had some great features, but not enough for either one [compared to email/Facebook/specialized webapp].
