Anyone got a spare Google Wave invite?

[teamonkey]

I think searching for "with:public yakyak" will find the yakyak waves without having to be added.

[BassHead]

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@ ?

Done.

This didn't work, at least not when I tried it two minutes ago, and I'm already part of the wave Possibly it's just broken, but I don't think the wave has been made public. Still it found the yakyak general Speccy chat wave so it's all good.

I'm now on and will dish out invites when I'm able - daniel.morton@... In the meantime could I take a look at the YY wave too please?

Oh yeah, it looks like they're not public.

I did the adding-thing.

The mammoth wave does not load for me anymore.

I had to click on it and then leave the browser for ages - I went and made a cuppa and did some clearing up in the garden and when I came back it had loaded. This is not really ideal, is it?

I think it's pretty much died of obesity related problems.

It does make you wonder where Google are heading. Not only with Wave but also all their browser based apps. It's a bit of a strange target to aim for really. You've got a browser running in a perfectly good OS which would be able to handle all this stuff easily, but Google have restricted themselves to shoe-horning applications into web-browsers which are never going to be as capable as whatever OS they are running on.

I can understand that they want it to be 'access anywhere' and cross platform compatible, but they might have better results just writing a cross platform virtual machine and use that instead. Especially since they have already started to state that certain browsers are incompatable anyway, which ruins the whole cross platform compatibility thing.

I'm just not convinced the direction they are taking is the correct one at the moment.

SaaS innit. They want to own the net.

[Unfathomable]

I'd also like added to the YakYak wave please I've just got it and I've got a few invites left if anyone needs one.

Personally, I'm greatfull google want to support standards and work with mostly open protocols and systems rather then releasing their own VM people have to download and then getting people to run Google-apps.

My Gmail,maps and docs work very nicely just the way they are, thank you very much.

[limb_clock]

just took a look and noted that i have 12 extra nominations. One is reserved for sack, but i could send out a few for the remaining peoples.

[WiteWulf]

If you have invites please PM those without invites at the TOP of the list requesting their email address. It's only fair given the people at the top have been waiting longer than people at the bottom.

But it looks like they have already given up support for Internet Explorer which forces a large percentage of the userbase to download another web browser to use Google apps. How long will it be before they decide that only Chrome has the functionallity they need to progress, and force people to use that to access Google services? Is this really any different to downloading a VM?

No PM received, if you could try again it would much appreciated.
