I haven't gotten an invite yet, though I hope for one soon. Google voice sent one within 3 days of me applying.

cross fingers. ;)

If you want an invite just post your email address and I'll send one your way.

Aaah, I just remembered the good old days of Gmail being invite-only.

BaB had sent me the invite, and thanks to him, I was able to get probably the best email address I could get for my name.

It says I have "nominated" you. I am not sure if that equates to an actual invite or not.

Yeah I still haven't received an invite so I'm sure they have to be approved or something first.

i'm still unclear on what google wave actually is.
what ive seen so far is basically some sort of glorified IM/e-mail with conference/folder sharing abilities?
it's essentially throwing them all in a stew together?
i might be horribly wrong.

I'm slightly annoyed that I've been a member of google for years, and I have to get an invite from someone else to try out their new technology.

Teuthida

10-15-2009, 07:04 PM

I was going to wait since I thought it used your google account name. If you still have a free invite could you send me please? deadbatteryboy[@]yahoo.com. Thanks very much.

(My aunt and some DJ from Germany like to stake out my last name for everything. Was lucky enough to get it for gmail.)

Teuthida got my last invite.

If someone who I've invited could invite Combine that would be great.

Why has nobody here actually answered the questions of "What is the Google Wave?"

What is Google Wave?

I feel like I'm going to get Rickroll'd to chocolate rain sung by Ashton Kutcher.

I sent you a PM, and you don't even mention me in your post, let alone write an answer! :p

Ok, I'm openly asking for an invitation from anyone who can send me one. My mail address is buraks, given to me by gmail.com :)

Bond

10-16-2009, 03:29 PM

Sorry Bube, I sent you an invite yesterday, but I must have forgotten to PM you back.

Hopefully you get invited soon!

Thanks Bond!

Still hasn't gotten here though. Did you accidently keep the brackets on around the @ or does it just take a while?

lmfao nobody know what it actually is

"man, it's a way of shifting paradigms, as it blows them apart, outside of the box!"

it's a fucking glorified folder sharing program

And a way for Acebot too cheat at Sudoku.

I'm not really sure what Googlewave is, I see it has potential in the business world and stuff, but on a personal level it is a little ambitious.

How awesome is this?
Yesterday I was watching Firefly and I suddenly noticed the people were not using e-mail, but 'waves'. Like "You got a wave from Inara."
I thought it was a very cool coincidence. Then I started Googling.

Turns out the people at Google are big Firefly fans. :D They renamed 'Walkabout' to 'Wave' because of the series.

I also got an invite last weekend. Only I won't be using it, even though it's all one big Firefly reference. :D
