I think people are using it as a fun toy/distraction at the moment and just playing around with it and seeing where and how it breaks - which I guess is pretty much the reason it's early beta and not letting everyone in.

It is a little flaky to say the least and there are a lot of features missing or broken.

No one in their right mind is going to use it for anything serious right now I don't think. :)

It is shaping up and it does feel like it's going to be awesome when it all comes together.

I've got an 'Invite others...' wave in my inbox. ( Try looking in 'All' rather than your inbox )

I didn't get any to give away so far, so it might be the second level of breaks they have for this to grow slooowwwwly.

I had a go at building my own gadget today, with a certain level of success. I'm finding that updating the gadget state in rapid succession causes the wave to cancel the operation, hope they tweak this eventually.

I'm guessing that the time between invite sent and invite got isn't immediate, judging by the list & the fact that I'm still waiting for my gravy-endorsed invite! No rush, just keen to see what the fuss is over.

Google Wave invitation wave wrote:Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.

Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.

Happy waving!

I think it's also worth adding new members to the Getting Started wave (AKA "Wave: The Hidden Secrets of Enigmatism"), as it answers a few of the questions that I've seen appearing in the YakYak wave.
