Google Wave

Post by Bob Garage »

did anyone manage to get an account on Google Wave when they launched it this week?

As they did with Gmail when it first launched, google only gave out a limited number (100,000) accounts. And also as with gmail, each user is getting a limited number (8) invites.

Did anyone get an account? And if so, could I have an invite please :)

its email crossed with instant messanger and a few other things. as well.
its open source. and they encouraging developers to write apps for it, like facebook, iphone etc.

if you've got an hour and a half to spare sit through the video on the google wave website. it explains it all.

i think it looks great, can't wait to get an account.

Does anybody have any invites?

I would like the oportunity to ask if I can create a new topic offering invites to other trackers. I have some for a very good argentinian tracker, if it is possible I will open a topic about that.
