I, too, would like an invite. Is there any indication of when this would be released to the public?

"so, anybody using it - is it integrated with Gmail in anyway yet? Do you have to create a new Wave account? Or can you read your Gmail inside Wave, or convert/start Gmail messages as Waves? To talk to other people, do they also have to have Wave accounts?"

You can't do anything with wave and gmail collaborating as of right now, but this is just a preview and they will most likely release a robot for that at some point.

There aren't any robots yet, which is disappointing overall because they would add a new dimension to wave. I would love to get stocky and twave if I could.

From what i understand these invites ( i think they call them something different, cant remember the word) dont go out right away, if at all.

10/7/2009 1:50:01 PM

last tweet from Lars was on the 6th.

"Ok firefighting over the weekend went well. System reasonably stable and invites are starting to go out again. Slowly at first."

OK finally got my wave invite, thanks Ribs!!

Pretty cool to play around with, but it will definitely shine when it's opened to all gmail/google users

10/8/2009 6:51:44 PM

10/8/2009 10:22:08 PM

gronke@googlewave.com

I have no friends

10/9/2009 1:25:26 PM

search with:public and make lots of them.

10/9/2009 2:16:40 PM

yeah the only way to make it useful for me so far is to watch with:public and add interesting waves to a favorites folder or something

10/9/2009 2:36:14 PM

if anyone has any extra invites to spare, please let me know. been looking to try this out for a while

10/9/2009 5:24:51 PM

lol google wave is easier to understand than...

10/9/2009 7:59:03 PM

just out of curiosity, those that have been the beneficiaries of invites recently, were you given any invites of your own to give out?

10/11/2009 2:31:44 AM

nope 2nd gen users don't have any yet

10/11/2009 9:03:19 AM

got my invite last night....thanks cdubya

10/11/2009 11:00:49 AM

any invites left? i'd love to get some friends on this shit so i can use it with them

10/12/2009 11:39:42 AM

plz to give me an invite

plz

10/12/2009 1:06:49 PM

I think cdubya and Ribs were the only ones here with invites and they've been exhausted. I really hope they give some out on the next level soon. I'm sure everyone has already stumbled upon this, but I guess it couldn't hurt while we play the waiting game.

Thank you cdubya!

10/12/2009 1:22:46 PM

There is a bunch of people in now it seems...

I like it, but it irritates me to no end that people don't understand where to reply. Everyone opens a new wavelet as a reply instead of using a blip under the wavelet.

10/12/2009 1:25:01 PM

^I've noticed that.

10/12/2009 1:31:23 PM

screenshot pl0x. i don't know wtf a wavelet or a blip are.

10/12/2009 1:34:06 PM

haha, nice punch to the MS junk

10/13/2009 12:02:48 PM

So i just got my invite today. And of course I have no friends on my gmail list that are invited to wave so I am waving with myself. I assume the only way to really get into this is by having a bunch of your gmail friends on wave?

10/14/2009 10:44:28 AM

search

with:public

10/14/2009 10:48:08 AM

I have 3 invites left - anyone wants one let me know your email over PM.

10/14/2009 3:23:43 PM

all gone - that was quick.

10/14/2009 3:46:04 PM

yay! thank you!

10/14/2009 3:51:10 PM

Anyone else have invites to give ....

Please save one for me if you offer them via PM ... I cant lurch on here all day long

10/14/2009 4:01:22 PM

I gave all mine out today - I had random people reply on Twitter and everywhere.

I hear they're going for up to $80 on eBay.

10/14/2009 6:10:41 PM

so for anybody else who's been nominated, how long did it take to get an actual invitation?

10/16/2009 9:12:22 AM

my wave of invites have gone out and been accepted already - people were signing up yesterday. 4/8 that i sent are already in the program.

10/16/2009 9:31:48 AM

were they invites or nominations (not the same thing)? when did you send them?

10/16/2009 11:11:50 AM

lol Pulp Fiction wave.

10/16/2009 12:39:46 PM

seems like google has invented instant messaging. way 2 go

10/16/2009 12:47:53 PM

"People you've nominated:" - so I guess nominations. I put them on the nominees list on Wednesday morning and by Thursday afternoon, I had people already on here who had signed up and were in my Wave contacts list

Three Google Wave Searches Worth Saving http://bit.ly/HdQyK

Quote :

" * 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."
