Were you invited by a friend or by Google? If it was Google then that explains the 20 invites - they give those to the people who signed up and are invited through them?

Sent. :)

Google say that it may take a while to arrive, as they have a lot of stamps to lick. :lol:

It seems like the sent-to-arrival time is getting a lot better. :)

My Brother who works partly with Education IT has been trying to get an invite and after a few weeks on Wave I'm yet to have any for him. Not scanned the thread a while now but if anyone has one spare could I PM them his email address or somesuch and we can get him on, the better to get the likes of Wave going in schools and that?

Still no sign of any invites to give out, and the people I'd promised some to have since got their invites elsewhere. Plus, the novelty of Google Wave has worn off for me. I've not used it since posting on the YY wave a few weeks ago.

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.
I've tried looking at it twice and it slowed Chrome down so much that I had to close the browser.

Any major updates to make it worth me bearing the awful UI to have another look?

Just minor tweaks every week or two from what I see.
I think they are mostly working sever-side.
The client is just the public tip of it all.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to experience/feel these things :?

No offence to the YakYak wave, which I was invited to - I think I just joined it too late.

I guess it's probably different if you start a wave and know the participants pretty well, and there aren't too many of them, otherwise it becomes impossible to followm, even with the replay function :wink:

What happened to the list of people who still need invites? I still have some to spare if anyone's interested (despite the above!)

Well I still didn't get mine, I wonder if Limb sent it off into limb-o ;).

So I'd still be obliged if somebody'd bung me one :).
