Google Wave

[Guest nondskrpt]

Who here's got it? Thoughts?

anyone want to hook me up with an invite (will rep)

[zerofuture]

Got it; don't get it; lack the energy to figure it out.

I have 8 invites but they note that "invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick."

PM me an e-mail address and I'll hook you up.

i saw a video for it about how it is supposed to streamline emails and responding to them but the shit just looks really involved and borderline unnecessary.

Occam's razor in effect

[joelz]

I have it now too.. feels like being one of the first people at a party.. like it's nice inside but no one else is there and for some reason someone is alerady breaking shit.

[rockon99]

hahaha joelz thats perfect..

[JTSO23]

got it but yeah it's pretty boring so far.

[indesertum]

invites for +rep? i'd like to see what the deal is about

[ILLuminate]

its a cool idea but i dont know if i see it catching on. they're touting the fact that it can be something in between static (email) and fast-paced (IM clients) communcation, but to me the coolest part is when you have multiple people in on a wave at the same time sharing photos, words, whatever. This require everyone to say "i'm getting on at X time" or just have wave always open as a tab like many people do with gmail/gchat. I dont see eithe of these scenarios happening on a widespread basis.

We'll see, though. I hope I'm proven wrong.

I swag when I surf.

[polishmike]

oh i want an invite. will give big green tip of rep

[joelz]

hahaha joelz thats perfect..

thanks man - sorry, forgot about this thread for a while.

after playing with it for a couple weeks I'm still not sold on it. I could see it being amazing for planning activities, or communicating with a ton of people. But until everyone (everyone!) has it or some equivalent of it, it really is useless for now

[joelz]

Also I just got 30(!) more invites so if anyone wants one send me a pm

[amardeep]

just got wave, dug this up

sufu party in wave, who's down?

[Tyro1]

I have no idea how it works, but i got it.

[joelz]

Also I just got 30(!) more invites so if anyone wants one send me a pm

And I'm out (for now). Will update when more come

sufu wave party sounds good. Set up a public wave and dump the URL here

[amardeep]

think this should work

https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:search:with%253Apublic+sufu,restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BWkpMpqLqA.1

if not just put this in the searchbar:

with:public sufu

and follow the wave (and mark your location!)

[zerofuture]

I have 17 more invites; if anyone is still needs one, PM me.

[Osmosis Jones]

i have 5 invites left.

i don't use it though, so un-user friendly.

[amardeep]

its pretty wack on a shitty computer (ie. this laptop) but if you have a decent processor its pretty fun

invite all your friends that you normally talk to thru IMs and it should be good

sufu party on the other hand sucks dick

[JTSO23]

I got just got 10 invites, PM me if you want one.

[M4TM]

i wanna try!

[joelz]

More invites for me too, anyone want? let me know.

[FUCK]

I have this. I'm still trying to figure it out. I think its pretty rad so far, but its pretty friggin confusing.

[cyberPUNK]

i seriously have no idea what to use it for. just seems like a broke-ass private message board. i'm either completely missing the point, or it's just shit. probably the former.

[amardeep]

coolest shit ever - http://gizmodo.com/5415608/first-made+for+google-manhunt-in-progress-updating-live

[FUCK]

^^that shit is awesome^^

this has potential to be a really useful tool for a design team or anyone doing collaborative projects. I've just been goofing off with friends on it for now, but i'm interested to see some of the apps and uses are thought up for it. I like it a lot more than ichat/gchat/etc. I just wish i could find out more about it without watching an 80 minute video on it.

[zerofuture]

PM me an e-mail address if you still need an invite (22 left).

[FUCK]

25 invites if anyone wants one pm me

[M4TM]

it was fun playing around for the first 2 days... i got a bunch of friends using it and we had a big chat session... but it grew old fast. now we're back to blackberry messenger! new version of BBM is dope.
