First impression from their intro video: Damn, they're using a lot of shop talk.

I'm still in that position, actually; I finally just said "fuck it" when yet another one of my friends started passing out invites, and I'm currently working on figuring it out. Boiling down the jargon-laden intro video, it seems they've combined the functions of Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, Google Documents, YouTube, and a couple of other things. That impression might be wrong, though; I haven't actually conducted a test yet due to not having anyone else to test with.General Zod wrote:What the fuck is Google Wave?

Any address will do as long as you actually check the inbox.Melchior wrote:I'm interested too, if anyone can spare a invite (melchior2015@gmail.com, if a "real" address is needed I send it via pm).
Thanks. When it will be active I'll obviously be available to dispatch more invites.Rogue 9 wrote:Any address will do as long as you actually check the inbox.Melchior wrote:I'm interested too, if anyone can spare a invite (melchior2015@gmail.com, if a "real" address is needed I send it via pm).Sent. The invite won't appear right away; they claim 24-48 hours, but the experience so far has actually been less than twelve.
That's the beauty of the pyramid scheme; unlike an actual pyramid scheme, we all actually get the benefits (invites) and can keep getting more people in perpetually as long as new recipients share at least some of their invites. So sure, drop me your e-mail address; after Gaius (who I just sent one to) I've got four left.Joviwan wrote:Don't put me at the top of the waiting list or anything, but I wouldn't mind getting an invite into this. PM me if you have a spare and I'll shoot you the email address.
They don't send them out right away; expect it in a few hours. I can't dispatch the invite directly to you; how it works is the invitation system is actually a "wave," as they call it, and I get to nominate people to be invited. Google will dispatch the invite before too long. It says this in the invitation wave:Brother-Captain Gaius wrote:Thanks Rogue. Though it sure seems to be taking its time. I hope it'll go through; it wasn't in my spam folder.
Invite others to Google Wave
Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.
Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.
Happy waving!
Could you send to Norade? I want to save a couple of mine for friends.Vyraeth wrote:I also have eight invites that I'll send to anyone who needs one.
Can't you do the gmail thing and just apply for one yourself every time you run out of 'invites'?Rogue 9 wrote:Could you send to Norade? I want to save a couple of mine for friends.
