Engadget wrote the following about google spaces; indeed it seems google spaces fills where wave left, and some legacies of wave can be found in google docs such as real time collaborative editing and stuff. I am quite impressed with Google Spaces and as the article below suggests, would like to see interactive javascripting support in it. There are a couple of potential uses of this with students and colleagues in working in collaborative mind mapping drawing and laying out arguments/designs/planning papers, etc. Quite promising.

So it's safe to say that
Google Wave didn't really make one upon the tech world as a whole, but it certainly was a neat idea. While Wave itself now lives with the
Apache Software Foundation, the core concept, easy and direct collaboration with anyone, has new life with Google Shared Spaces. The Wave gadgets have been given a standalone home here, the idea being that you create a Space, invite some people, and then do -- well, whatever it is you need to do. It's basically just a more task-focused version of Wave, and maybe that's all the service really needed. Direction. Right now there are just shy of 50 such gadgets for you to try, but anyone with a little JavaScript know-how can whip up their own in a jiffy, though sadly there's no interactive gadget-creation Space.
