Google Wave

Google reported last week that while it plans to discontinue its Wave service it will save Google Wave as a stand-alone application. The service will lose its integration with Gmail, but will still give active Wave participants a place to use and modify new and existing Wave’s after the service shuts down at the end of the year.

Google Wave has gathered “numerous loyal fans” reports the company in its official blog posting which announces the discontinuation of the service. In an effort to save Google Wave the fans of the service have created a dedicated webpage the “Save Google Wave!"

The new “Save Google Wave!" website at SaveGoogleWave.com. It offers visitors the chance to express their support by giving the cause a virtual thumbs up, and a little over 20,500 individuals have done so to date.

 Scareware slingers have poisoned search results for Google Wave in a bid to expose users seeking the communication software to a fake anti-virus scan instead.
