Anyone got a spare Google Wave invite?

[seanyseansean]

Oh fer Christ's sake, what's the fucking point.

Everyone's gone to the trouble of making a list, and so people decide instead, in their wisdom, to just random them off to to whoever happens to be online at the time. Not only that but they end up going to people who wanted invites *so badly* that they didn't even bother sticking their names down on the list.

With the greatest of respect - go fuck yourself.

I'm doing some work at the moment - checked on the site, saw the thread, and decided to give away my spare invites at least time cost to myself, what with me being busy and all that. Besides I needed email addresses, not YY usernames, and didn't have time to go hunting for 'em.

Next time I won't bother!

No ignore me, it's actually very generous of you to hand them out here. *grumble grumble!*

Once Ive got established who I need to send them too, I'll send them to whos on top of the list.
But I'll probably only have 3 spare (I think).

my wave account is;

darkflame@googlewave.com

Well just in case... My email is caffeinekid at gmail dot com.

I've no agenda beyond finding the idea of Wave fascinating. I'd quite like to see one up for the dev cycle on the next Llamasoft game, for general thinking out loud by all parties involved. I'd imagine google'll get a good stress testing with the closedish beta (or whatever it's called) and haven't bothered optimising performance beyond a rudimentary level yet, so maybe when the next iteration comes along ther'll be more invites, or it'll be open, and we can crack on from there. In the meantime I'm on the list, for what it may or may not be worth, so if there's no drought on the invites at any point I'm glad I've got my place in the queue.

[seanyseansean]

Performance at the moment is, indeed, toss. But it's better than when it was at the sandbox site, so they're doing work on it.

[RiK]

Trimmed all the multiple lists out to just leave the most up to date. Will do that again later as more get added.

This thread has gone awfully quiet. Have all the invites waved goodbye?

The brains have stopped waving

[WiteWulf]

Still no sign of the one Leo sent me on Friday. Mebbe they'll pick up again after the weekend...

[WiteWulf]

...and nothing in the email today.

[The Caffeine Kid]

Mondo-Bizarro... It's almost as though they don't actually want people to use it.

[craigt]

Since it sounds like performance isn't that great at the moment, they may be holding back new registrations so there are just enough people for them to get some decent testing results without overloading the servers. It is still very early beta remember.

[piku]

Yeah mine hasn't arrived either.

If it's this fragile, I wonder how much of the demo they showed on that video was real...

I hope that it gets integrated into the usual Google account system. I don't want a gmail.com account AND a googlewave.com account, that's just daft.

Is your GoogleWave account able to receive normal emails?

When you signed up was it with a Gmail account or non-Gmail account?

I'm still waiting for them to let us link an existing OpenID with our Google accounts.
