Still Waiting for a Google Wave Invitation

I feel like one of the millions of starving children who unlike Charlie Bucket didn’t get a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s factory and subsequently died in poverty and obscurity. For I have not gotten an invitation to Google Wave:



I do kind of want one though, if only to get a sense of whether it’s as rich as it looks. In case you can’t be bothered to watch the intro movie, Google Wave is an app/service that combines messaging, collaboration, and media-sharing into one hybrid medium. Pretty cool. I’ve been waiting for Google to generate something other than the steady stream of interesting also-rans (Google Docs, Android, Open Social, Orkut, Chrome etc. etc.) for which they are internationally famous. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this were it.

    Some people fish for fish, some fish for compliments, but Lev fishes for tech! Message me Ishmael!

    Google Earth is one of the coolest things on the planet, so a little harsh to go with the also-ran, no?

    Church, Kemper, Anon, any of you got an invite that you’d like to give Lev in exchange for watching a certain show? Now’s your chance.

    I don’t understand the appeal of Google Wave. Unless you’re actually collaborating with someone else it seems like a lot of noise to deal with.

    Really? Wow, my head practically exploded while watching this video! The possibilities are endless.

    Mind you, I was an English major who is now a computer engineer and one of my geek fetishes is improving communication in the IT sector. Google Wave is practically pornography for me. It’s like… a one-stop shop for every method of communication you might want to use to every person you might want to communicate with. I need it pretty much immediately.

    So, as far as I can tell, this is like gmail, gchat, and google docs all rolled into one.

    Meh.
