I registered as soon as the Wave conference/demo video popped up, but haven't had my golden ticket yet... :(

It's trending on twitter again. Probably with 1000s of people complaining that it's seven hours now since invites were supposed to be appearing. LOL

A chap I work with got an invite from a friend this morning so I'm hoping to get one soon.

Google apparently saying "Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick."

Bear in mind the chap involved has some *very* highly placed friends in the Internet backbone world so it's hardly surprising, he's got the connections!

To be fair, Google must have been besieged with requests. I wonder if invites are being sent on a truly random basis or if it had anything to do with what you put on the form. I said I'd only be using it for friends and family, not work colleagues or small business stuff. I did say though I'd be happy to provide feedback :)

the page says that the invites will not be sent right away, as they have stamps to lick.
