@those who've used WAVE - how is it? Is it worth begging/nagging for invites ?

worth begging/nagging? Not quite.

I've been playing with Google Wave for couple of days now. To give a brief Overview:

for the time being Wave looks like glorified IM, on a bigger space, with direct keyboard inputs being shown instead of "person X is typing"

via my tweet

It is, however a *very* interesting tool to collaboratively work on something - a document, a presentation, and even a game of Sudoku. I haven't experienced any crashes yet, but then again, I'm using the latest Dev version of Google Chrome.

Also - another thing to note is - as more people get involved, it becomes rather messy and - "all hell breaks loose".

(PS: I don't have any invites, yet)

somehow don't like that particular feature. Is there any option to turn it off or something?

like a twitter timeline of a person who follows every tom, dick and harry? {perhaps worse}

that's the "killer" feature. It ain't as bad as it sounds. Ofcourse, if you're accustomed to cursing someone on IM by typing it out, then editing it to make a PG-safe version, Wave ain't for ya ;) ( ...or maybe not for the ones following you :P )

*much* worse than that. Atleast with twitter you can unfollow/block/filttr the person out. In Wave, as of now if you're in a wave with others (the G-Wave parlance for a discussion) then you can't pull out of the Wave >_>

Okay, next question ..

Does anyone possess invites at all?
Click to expand...

every user who signs up gets 8 invites. but they are not send immediately.

Invite others to Google Wave
Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.
Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.
Happy waving!
