Need a Google Wave Invite?

by

google-wave-invite

I’ve read the posts. I’ve watched the videos. I’ve even poked around the web app. Yet, I still don’t get Google Wave. From Google’s product description:

Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

Perhaps I’ve already met my limited web collaboration needs in other ways. So don’t let my lack of enthusiasm or perception stifle your curiosity. Leave a comment below if you’d like a Google Wave invite and we’ll randomly select 8 winners tomorrow. (And please note the timing caveat in the Wave pictured above.)

  16. The tool that allows instant language translation between 2 users has me very interested.

    I’m coating this reply with honey so it’ll stick to your fingers when you pull invites out of the raffle box.

  22. I’m totally stealing this explanation of Wave from my sister-in-law…

    It’s like email but more complicated and less convenient.

  26. I wanna try this, is like what we all have read in sciencie fiction books, the first setps for perosnal “Comlogs” and things like that. Connecting everything with you. After this, put Google Wave into a mobile phone, add voice recognition for commands and realtime translation, video projector/recorder and that’s it! All what you need in a device, and forget about multiple languages!

  32. My husband just got an invite and I am totally jealous :( Your random selection has the power to equalize our marriage power struggle :) :) Thanks!!!

  35. The power of Wave that I see is in managing documents within a team or business group. I have seen time and time again word documents and power point slides sent by email, updated and resent by email to all with a staggered conversation of the documents and updates.

    It is a bad way to handle document editing, and it is an improper way to handle revision control. Google Docs somewhat fixes this, but as a company employee I would be hesitant to make our internal documentation public to Google (not world). Google Wave gives you the ability to own and run the server locally. For me this is a big advantage over existing methods of internal documentation editing.

  57. If you want a GOOGLE WAVE invite….email me at:

    ScottNY845@gmail.com

    I have 23 remaining and first come, first serve….several people have gotten theirs already and I am willing to give mine all away since I am getting a load of them from Google….

    I WILL NOT ANSWER TO THESE POSTS….YOU MUST EMAIL ME FOR ME TO SEND INVITE…..

    Thanks:
    Scott

  68. I’d happily take an invite. For all we know, this could become the new collaborative tool at the enterprise level
