I’ve Got Invites to Google Wave
Nov 11th, 2009 by Alex
I received an invitation to start using Google Wave this morning. Ironically, this is mere hours after reading about JJT not wanting an invite. I don’t remember asking for an invite, but I am a frequent user of their other services. I had to dust off my Google account as it doesn’t allow you to login with a Google Apps account.
As many people have said, there’s a lot to take in. The first thing I went to do was personalize my profile, which I couldn’t find immediately (hint: everything is its own wavelet). There’s lots to explore and suffice to say people who need instructions aren’t going to fare too well at first. There’s a lot of functionality power to embed things and I can see where it might be useful if an entire enterprise were on, but currently there aren’t enough people that I know to make it super useful.
As it turns out, I have 20 invites. Typically, Google asserts that they won’t send them out immediately… but I supposed it’s better than nothing. Anyone** want an invite?
** Note: Folks who I think I’m likely to communicate with are going to get first pass. If there are any invites left after a few days, they’ll go to randomly selected comment authors.
Could you give me an invitation ?
please please please
thanks a lot
I’m surprised you got your own invites. I’ve had Wave for about 2 weeks so far, and have been allotted any.
yea, can I have one too?
I have been thinking about starting up a photo blog for sometime now, and have been looking at different ways to do it. But I would love to try and do something a little more dynamic that the standard stuff already out there.
Thanks
Actually, I got an invite to Wave yesterday, and I am on it. More on this coming later.
i can’t wait anymore ,can you give me an invitation? thank you……..
I’d be very grateful for an invite.
I’d love to know how you know if you have invites? I’ve had Wave for nearly a month but have no invites to send out from what I can tell (but I’m not sure where they’d show up…hopefully somewhere prominent).
Thanks,
Steven
Rob/Steven: They were there when I signed up, in their own little wave entitled “Invite others to Google Wave.” It has a box to enter someone’s email address and a little counter indicating 20. Add someone and the counter decrements to 19, 18, etc.
