Anyone got a spare Google Wave invite?

[Wudzi]

Can someone add me to the wave?

Dunnit.

Problem is, adding people to the wave is great but the wave is meanwhile hardly usable and if we make a new one we will have to add everybody all over again. This system will take time to get working as it should and even then, the way we are using it might not be the one intended.

I don't think Waves are supposed to have 25 people attached to them, all typing away at it. It's supposed to be an improvement on email, rather than a giant instant-messaging system.

We're hopefully providing Google with some great usage stats though

Once more for the slow people (i.e. me). Where would I find Invites to give away should I have them? The inbox and original waves there aren't helping me. Or do some people just not get them, and I'm wasting my time?

Where is Surfr? He asked for my e-mail addy, I provided it and then he went AWOL. Hasn't logged in since the 22th. /frustrated

Is it possible to turn off the real-time transmission of what you're typing as you type it? That strikes me as very much an instant messaging feature rather than an email feature, as it discourages thinking about what you're about to send before you send it. I'd sooner be able to compose a message before sending; I don't think I'd want people to see all my typing errors and changes of mind along the way.

You're not alone. I've got nothing which indicates any invites I can send either.

Invites (if and when they are given out) will appear in a wave in your inbox.

If you don't have an invite your friends wave then I'm guessing you don't have any invites. It's a slow roll out though so I don't think they are giving out many at a time.

The "draft" tick-box will allow that, it just isnt on the Preview version at the moment.

I think they only have that enabled at the moment to show of the speed of the protocol; Precisely to reaffirm that it isnt like email and has a lot of interesting possibility's beyond mear collaborative editing of a set of text.

Added. The wave is a bit of a mess now, loading veeerrrry slowly.

[Wibble]

Ooh.. there's a yy wave?

it's really hard when you have so few addresses, hahah. Someone care to slow down the wave even more by adding martin.bassie@ ?
