Google Wave
 
Was anyone invited?

I am trying to use it, but failing miserably.

Do you have any invites to give? :D

Re: Google Wave
 
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.

Re: Google Wave
 
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.

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

Re: Google Wave
 
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 doing the Wave as well, but being that don't know many people with it... not even sure how supposed to test it.

Bond 10-15-2009 01:52 PM

Re: Google Wave
 
Alright, I've sent everyone an invite who has asked for one.

I have two left.

thatmariolover 10-15-2009 01:55 PM

Re: Google Wave
 
Yeah I got mine. I appreciate it.

Vampyr 10-15-2009 03:13 PM

Re: Google Wave
 
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

Re: Google Wave
 
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.)

Swan 10-15-2009 07:22 PM

Re: Google Wave
 
Thanks Bondo.



Now I don't know what to do with it

Re: Google Wave
 
Teuthida got my last invite.

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

Typhoid 10-16-2009 04:51 AM

Re: Google Wave
 
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

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

Hopefully you get invited soon!

Teuthida 10-16-2009 08:11 PM

Re: Google Wave
 
Thanks Bond!

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

flamb 10-17-2009 01:16 AM

Re: Google Wave
 
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

Swan 10-17-2009 01:17 AM

Re: Google Wave
 
I still have no idea what is is exactly.


It just sounds neat

Samuel L Jackson explains Google Wave. NSFW language.

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.

I got it Bond, thanks, and sorry if my last post sounded whiny, I was just joking :) Thanks again :)

Re: Google Wave
 
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.
See here for example: http://www.itnews.com.au/News/146353...ofts-bing.aspx

Haha, well I finally got accepted into this, and I have 8 invitations to hand out to anyone who still cares about this.

Angrist 11-30-2009 06:10 AM

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