Anyone around here have an invite? I'm seeing a lot of casual people talking about being in it now and invites being tossed around.
That would be because gmail is tied to it. That said: Your Google Account has not yet been activated for Google Wave. In other words, no longer a sandbox. :( |

GMail doesn't get you an instant in though.

Of course not, it's probably the most used mail client in the world at this point. Let me see if I can get in with my sandbox account and do an invite.

5 left.
Everyone who had a dev account should have 8 invites, so Prospero should pop in here soon.
Also, you can not send regular email with it atm as far as I can tell. So uhhhh, mostly useless.

For those PMing me for invites, the remaining 5 are going to f13 staff first if they want them, hopefully they'll get more invites (it's not an immediate in really either once invited).
Also, their server is a nightmare. I'll post here if there are any remaining tomorrow.
Also, again, YOU CAN'T USE IT FOR REGULAR EMAIL. No, I don't know why.
Fake Edit: Prospero, log into your dev account, there should be a wave for joining the public beta. Then one of your waves in THAT account will be "invite your friends."
Edit: Nix is in.

Looks like I haven't gotten that wave yay. I just have my settings waves so far.
And yes; the server is very unhappy right now. Both in the sandbox and the main.

On the bright side! It looks as though your gmail address can be your wave name. They have reserved it all and it's why I couldn't get tidal@, which is a shame, but I'll live.
So, yea, I've got schild, which is nice!

Thanks for the info. Much obliged. |

If one of you guys who are now in have a spare invitation, I'll gladly take it   |

So if I recall correctly, this can be used to do stuff like document collaboration in a wave, right?

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

Yep, real time collaboration. You can also see live modifications to a document made by another person with access to it and see the history of every modification (bar any privacy setting applied to the document) up to when you first accessed it, through a "video-player" like console. |

I have a feeling security is going to be pretty lax for a while here though.

I must say that playing Dungeons and Dragons modules through Wave could be quite an interesting experience  |

I just applied for the beta with the angle that I'm interested in using Wave to streamline a law practice. Granted, the security end is key, but I'm pretty sure doable once you can host your own Wave service....then it would solely internal.

On the subject, Twitter is going completely nuts with Wave lately. Scam and real invitation give-aways are non-stop now.

Still haven't really watched a single video or anything on this, but I still want to try it.

I too have 0 invites remaining. The invites are going out in batches, so you might not get a response immediately, but I'll happily add the first four people who PM me (with an email address to use) to The List.
Edit: got four requests, submitted four names, now we see how bad the backlog is (invites are being sent out in batches).

Aw man, this is Gmail all over again  Also, again, YOU CAN'T USE IT FOR REGULAR EMAIL. No, I don't know why.
Let's hope Google implements some sort of SMTP bridge, so that regular e-mail threads are aliased into Wave conversations. Using bot magic or whatever. |

I'm out of invites. Everyone who PM'd me has been invited; it may take awhile to actually get the official invite though.

Just got mine. Thanks, btw!
So do I need people to PM me contact info? I noticed that I had about twelve contacts in my profile settings, but they don't show up on the generic contact list. Time to delve into this on my time off.

On Twitter, they've said that they're sending out another big batch of invites today. Hope I'll be in this time around.

People that got nominated on Oct 1st seem to have gotten invites already. I was nominated a day later by Quinton, nothing here yet  |
