I think they should integrate Wave with orkut.

Just an aside: Wave looks very similar to Microsoft OneNote, the obvious difference being that one is a desktop application and the other is a web application.

I have six invites for it. PM for an invite with your email address. The first six will get the invites.

I just got in a couple days ago and they haven't given me any invites to give out yet.

Do buzz this topic when you can spread the wave

Wave seems to be a fantastic notetaker

If only because of that, I can see myself using it quite a lot.

Someone just told me that they've been reading information all over the internet about Wave and the general consensus is that if you sign up on the waiting list at http://wave.google.com/ you will eventually be invited by Google and then you will get 8 invites to send out to others.

But if you are one of the lucky people who is invited by someone else, you don't get any invites to send out to others.

So I may not be getting any invites to send out for quite some time.

Almost makes me regret being invited by the good folks here at DC. Almost.

I signed up more than a month ago. I didn't send the Wave team a message though, apparently that was a criterion for the first wave of invites, damn my terrible haiku skills! I suppose I'll just have to wait like everybody else. $:-\$

It looks like what can be done already with collaborating document programs. Google docs or ThinkFree or many other collaboration tools.

Maybe you can add more to this type of communication.
You do have to email collaborators for the other tools,
but I expect I can add most anything to a doc in one of these other tools.

Still I think I'll check it out.

Here's more info from DownloadSquad.

I have a few invites, if anybody still needs one let me know

jomanlk · « **Reply #41 on:** November 09, 2009, 03:35 AM »

I got mine via a friend a couple of days ago. thanks for offering though.

jahufar · « **Reply #42 on:** November 09, 2009, 05:22 AM »

Been waiting for one for a while - would be glad if anyone here can spare me one

Mark0 · « **Reply #43 on:** November 09, 2009, 07:11 PM »

Got it! Thanks rgdot!

rgdot · « **Reply #44 on:** November 09, 2009, 07:32 PM »

No problem, you already got the invite itself? Google have gotten faster

Mark0 · « **Reply #45 on:** November 09, 2009, 07:41 PM »

Yes!

app103 · « **Reply #46 on:** November 26, 2009, 02:02 PM »

I just got 16 invites. If anyone wants one, send me a PM with your email address.

iphigenie · « **Reply #47 on:** November 26, 2009, 02:57 PM »

Could we make a list somewhere of who is already on it (and the corresponding email if they want connecting) and who might still want one?

rgdot · « **Reply #48 on:** November 26, 2009, 03:31 PM »

Good idea

jomanlk · « **Reply #49 on:** November 26, 2009, 04:37 PM »

great. I've got invites I can give out as well. 5 left I think.
