Google Wave Comes Back From The Dead... As Open Source
Google Wave is back, but not in the same vein as you might think. Apache Software announced yesterday in collaboration with Novell and several prolific backers that Wave will be widely available through it's extensive open-source software catalog.
Google Wave, the search and cloud software giant’s flagship release of 2009-2010 is making a quiet return after being resurrected by Apache Software Foundation, an open-source software incubator. Apache is most well known for its HTTP web server software that is the most widely adopted web server software in use today, powering 60% of the worlds web sites.
Google’s mega-hyped social collaboration tool initially garnered praise from critics for its integrated platform and potential uses. The initial beta invites were highly sought by early adopters thus resulting in Google’s most anticipated product since the company used a similar beta invite tactic with Gmail in 2004.
