When I saw the video for Google Wave I jizzed in my pants. **** So the people who brought us Google Maps are working on something called Google Wave. There's an hour long video in the link above - you really only need to watch the first ten minutes to get excited about it. Think: What if Gmail were crossed with MSN and built into my web-browser. That's right, your web-browser. Not Chrome. Any web-browser. A communication, file sharing tool working on HTML 5. Doesn't sound too impressive? Skip to 00:07:30 of the video to see the product in action. |

Invites go out tomorrow. There is a decent chance I can get some (or more than one). I may distribute them here? |

Has anyone watched the movie "The Wave"? (About fascist propaganda in a middle school) Everything about this "Google Wave" has ominous connotations. |

You may. (I've already signed up, but I get the impression that they won't send it out to everyone right off the bat) Edited by Nag Ehgoeg, Sep 30 2009, 11:00 AM.

http://mashable.com/2009/09/29/google-wave-invites-2/ There Are Four Ways to Get an Invite Google clarified things earlier today with an update to their blog. They specifically highlighted the four key ways you can secure an invite. Here are the methods and what you need to know: 1. You signed up early on for a Google Wave account. Google put up a request form for Wave invites not long after Wave was announced. Most of the invites arriving tomorrow will go to people on that list. Your chances improve if you signed up early on and wrote a message to the Wave team. 2. You have an account on the Developer Preview of Wave. The Sandbox version of Google Wave has been active for a select group of developers for several months now, allowing them to test Wave, report bugs, and build Wave extensions. They will all get accounts. 3. Some paying users of Google Apps will get accounts. It’s likely several companies asked Google for invites when the real-time tool launched. They will get accounts. Some schools that use Google Apps will also get early access. 4. You are invited by someone currently using Wave. This is the most intriguing revelation made today by the search giant. Here’s how Google explained it: “We’ll ask some of these early users to nominate people they know also to receive early invitations — Google Wave is a lot more useful if your friends, family and colleagues have it too. This, of course, will just be the beginning. If all goes well we will soon be inviting many more to try out Google Wave.” Do you know what this reminds us of? Gmail (Gmail). Do you remember when it first came out and there were a select number of invites users could send out? I remember that people were willing to pay cold, hard cash for one of those invites. You might see the same type of frenzy over Wave. Regardless, these are currently the only four ways to get an account on Wave. So if you don’t get an invite tomorrow, you still have hope. You’ll probably have to beg someone for an invite, though. |
