The offline caching technology that was supposed to revolutionize webmail, social media search and offline blogging is no longer. Google has announced they are phasing out Google Gears.

I saw a lot of potential with Gears. I really liked the implemented “Turbo” feature in WordPress…even though I never really used it. To borrow a line from Role Models “I liked the idea of it.”

Whatever…on to the next. I guess everything can’t be as awesome and widely used as Google Wave.
