got Wave invitation (no thanks to Google)

Just got my invitation to Google Wave. Should be called Google Crack. I’ve been online for 5 hours and still want to experiment but I’m about to pass out. To put it in perspective, I heard about the invitation at 8:30 Friday night. It is now 6:40 Saturday morning. I’ve been tooling around with Wave since 2:45 AM (didn’t sleep last night, okay?).

Turns out that Wave isn’t that complex (despite appearances). The most apt description I’ve heard yet was offered on Bwana.tv where the host referred to it as an open-sourced real-time multimedia platform for communication …. that just happens to draw on nearly all Google’s media properties – e-mail (gmail), video (YouTube), games, pictures (Picasa), IM (gTalk), social networking (Orkut), documents (Google Docs), real-time online collaboration (Google Docs again), etc.

The  point is his tool could really, really change the way we communicate with each other and with clients. It’s that useful. I’ll keep my readers up to date. So far so good.

P.S. In true Internet, word-of-mouth, hacker fashion I got my invitation through a longtime online contact I originally met blogging, who got it from a contact of his, and so on.  You could say we scarcely know one another but he helped me become part of the 100,000 who got Wave invites. Thanks for that bro!

Wave is Google’s open-sourced real-time multimedia platform for communications, combining e-mail (gmail), video (YouTube), pictures (Picasa), IM (gTalk), social networking (Orkut), and real-time online collaboration (Google Docs).

    Nice article as I know the feeling of staying up all night letting the brain cells have a smorg. I was invited to Gmail during the early beta and I forgot how painful it was not to have that invite yet……until now. It is driving me crazy not having it…….Any chance on getting one :)

      Sorry – I was invited by another user following some solid begging. Didn’t get the multiple invites that Google is giving out directly.

    I also think Wave is pretty good. Though not too many people on it.
