Status of Google Wave Google Help. As we announced in August 2. Google Wave as a stand alone product. Google Wave will be shut down in April 2. This page details the implication of the turn down process for Google Wave. Stage 1 Google Wave is read only January 3. In this stage, you will no longer be able to create or edit waves. Marking a wave as read will also not be saved. Robots that try to write to a wave will stop functioning. During this time, you will continue to be able to export your waves using the existing PDF export feature. Youll still be able to read existing waves and access the Google Wave client. If you want to continue using Wave, there is an open source project called Walkaround that includes an experimental feature to import all your waves from Google. Stage 2 Google Wave shut down April 3. In this stage, all the Google Wave servers will be shut down and you will no longer be able to get to your waves. Make sure to export any waves you want to save before that time.
