These projects seemed set up for failure from the start. I wonder if this is a systematic problem at big companies (or at least Google). They launch "experimental" projects, dont give them enough resources, and consequently doom them to failure. OTOH, wave was also given lots of resources (supposedly), so perhaps its just a sign of poor management.
