Google Wave

Google Wave

Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

(Long video is very long)

This is Google's newest launch, it's supposed to be huge.

I know at least one of you got in, how are you liking it so far? What are some good features of it?
And of course, the obligatory, any invites left?

I applied for the software, but I didn't get in. I watched that presentation a long time ago, and it looks very exciting

I'm still waiting for my email letting me know I'm in.

I got into Google Voice within a week, but I think Wave is a bit different.

Mozilla wil copy this very quickly I think and incorporate it into Thunderbird.

I watched the video ages ago, been waiting for my email.

There is already a similar thing out there already.

I might be wrong but wouldn't that be like saying the same thing about Gmail? "They'll copy it into thunderbird". Isn't one of the main points of GWave that you can access it from anywhere without a software client (web browser and Java VM aside). I just don't see what the advantage of using Thunderbird to access GWave would be.

I think you need a web browser in order to run google wave.
I suppose Mozilla could use this to their advantage by offering the best 'Google Wave' speeds. Perhaps their own add ons as well.

This is pretty amazing.

My brother gave me an invite. It seems pretty cool, but I haven't used it much. If anyone wants an invite, I have a few. Does anyone know how fast you get more invites?

So I've jumped on the band wagon too - add me if you want

You can set up group chats and stuff with friends, it's kind of like MSN & email in one, you can have live chats with multiple people. You could set up a DV group in wave and start a new wave with the group
