Google Wave

[Quinton]

I have no clue how they decided when to send the invites.  One person I invited before the first wave only got her invite a day or two ago, and some people got them within hours of me submitting the news.  It is a mystery...

[Lucas]

But now I have no friends, I'm riding the wave alone 

[TripleDES]

I got my invite this morning. Is there a F13 circlejerk wave to be invited into?

[Quinton]

If you know somebody's username (whatever@googlewave.com -- not actually an email address even though it looks like one), you can punch that into the search box under contacts and then add them to your contacts, waves, etc.  I created a "f13 hello wave!" and started adding f13'ers I know (not many).  Go forth and add other folks.

[CmdrSlack]

Sadly, though, sometimes you can't seem to search people...they'll come up as not found and then later on appear in your contacts.

[Oban]

I just do not understand Wave at all.

Collaboration?  Google Apps Premier already allows us to securely share documents and modify them in real time within the company (and even invite outsiders to participate). 

Chat?  We use Google chat, SMS or iChat to share information in real time.

Email, calendar, file sharing, pushing documents to web pages?  Google Apps Premier.

This seems like a software engineering project that is not viable in the commercial marketplace.

The whole idea is to integrate all of that into one 'conversation' client, where you can drag and drop things into an ongoing 'thread' between you and any number of people that can join and drop out of the thread.

Meanwhile, I found out how to visualize public waves...In the search box, type "with:public" (without the quotes) and madness shall ensue.

So, F13.

[TripleDES]

captjamestjerk@googlewave.com is mine. Add me, I guess?

I think I've read somewhere that all waves would be public by default until they've added the UI parts to chose. Can't seem to find a public f13 wave.

[OcellotJenkins]

I'd love to try this out if anyone has a spare invite.

[Ingmar]

I'm now ibell74@googlewave.com.

[caladein]

isaac.cajina@googlewave.com if anyone can add me to the f13 wave.

[Tale]

I have become  taletale@googlewave.com

It seems slightly retarded that I have to tell you that on F13 instead of being able to find the wave, but if you can talk to me I'd like to talk to you about pet bears and health insurance for avatars.

[Tebonas]

Since everybody seems to do this, can anyone hook me up with an invite?

[Viin]

Those of you that just joined, can you get to the F13 wave with this?

Busted it seems today  , no waves are saving etc.

"You are not a participant in this wave."

[Viin]

Ghey.

[Prospero]

Is it a public wave?

[Viin]

How do you make a public wave? I see nothing for something like that.

Put "public@a.gwave.com" on your contacts list and then add it to the wave.

Also, Google Wave 101 from Lifehacker.

[Viin]

This isn't as polished as most Google betas - what an asinine way to add "everyone".

Anyways, added "public@a.gwave.com" to the current F13 wave, so you folks should be able to find it.

Try the link above or in the search bar do 'tag:f13'.

[Prospero]

Yeah, their method of adding everyone and managing settings is a bit tech headed. Your settings are waves in your inbox, which makes sense in someways, but feels really awkward.. I imagine once the tech is solid they'll run through and de-geekify things a bit.

[Surlyboi]

Throw me an invite.

My Google contacts are leaving me hanging. 

[CmdrSlack]

Bogus. Found the f13 wave, cannot reply.

[Prospero]

Did you join the wave?

[NiX]

Anyone got an extra invite?

[Prospero]

Lifehacker had a couple helpful queries on their site

onlyto:me is:unread: This search shows waves that are directed only to me (no one else) and are unread. It provides a much more streamlined view of incoming waves that I'm more likely to want/need to respond to because they're only to me.

creator:me -is:note: These are waves I have created and added other people to, which most likely means they're waves I'm waiting for responses on. This view is very similar to an email sent box.

is:note: I've taken to using Wave as a personal notebook, and jotting waves that no one else is a participant on. This is probably an outside use case of Wave–its purpose is collaboration–but this handy is:note operator does easily return "notes to self" waves.

[climbjtree]

I too would enjoy an invite if anyone has a spare.

[fuser]

Federate with Google wave

Anyone brave enough to try this yet? 

[Yegolev]

I found some shit: http://www.xobni.com

[Oban]

I still do not understand the wave.

After reading through the documentation I feel the need to go back to my IBM Selectric III.

[Prospero]

If you've ever used a wiki, then wave isn't a big leap. Think a wiki with a better push mechanism for changes.
