Anyone know if invites are still being given out? I've been on wave for a few weeks now but don't seem to have any to dish out to helpful people. I'm hoping google haven't decided to stop expanding the beta for now...

I believe they gave out the last wave (ho-ho) of invites yesterday - I got some for the first time and have already invited a couple of people from RetroRemakes as the requests list here seems to have been fulfilled (for the moment).

Check your inbox- they appear as a normal wave with a blip inside telling you how many invites you are and a small form to enter in people's email addresses.

Does no-one else find Wave a massive load of confusing cack?
Because fucking marketing cunts would never call a spade anything other than a Deluxe Easi-Shift Earth Movement Solution.

I joined yesterday and according to my Inbox message I have 20 invites I can send out.

I have no idea what Wave is all about, even after watching the videos. :roll: :oops:

TBH, I've never stuck with it for long enough to get confused before it started freezing my browser and I couldn't be arsed to persist.

Its been working great collaborating on my various projects.
But you really do need to
a) Sort out the waves in advance. (ie, subtopics)
b) Arrange a meeting time. (which can be done on wave itself).

When you get 4-5 people all working on something though, you tend to get good information pinned down much quicker then an email exchange would have.

I'd been hoping to try something like this out on my current project, but looks like Google passed me over in the last hand outs of invites :) Good to know it does work for this though.

Yeah, I got a new batch too. (16)
I think its reached a point now where anyone can have one by asking without the need for a list.

bung us one someone, I'm curious to at least have a look to see if it could in some way be useful for when I start begging for graphics and people to pimp my iPhone games.

Seems a bit random; I've been on it about a week now and don't have any invites to give out yet.

When I first joined up, my Inbox was empty. A day later and there was three messages, one of which was the invites.
