You’re confusing Wave and Google Wave. Google killing Google Wave essentially kills Wave as a whole, at this point; we all think Google’s web-client sucked fucking balls, but there’s not much we could do about that. What matters is that Google killing their shitty client, along with their back-end provider, also kills the ecosystem, because it’s so young.

I could really care less if google killed their own hosting of Wave servers. That's never what I was interested in anyway. A ubiquitous messaging federated service as an alternative to email? Now that's what I was looking forward too and simply never materialized. Where's the download link at google.com to a Wave Server with a much simpler Wave client I can run on my own servers?

Your mom is a ubiquitous messaging federated service.

Fine, try again with better execution. No need to keep a brand name associated with flops.
