Google Wave

[ora]

I have a few invites it seems, anyone in need?

[Ferdinand]

Who actually gets invites?

EDIT: Could I have one?

Ferd - send me you email - ideally a gmail address, by PM. They take a few days to arrive though.

My opinion is the same of Wave now that I have access to it: Google is trying to do too much with this app.

Is it a business application? For the home user? What is its one sentence elevator pitch? Twitter is "What are you doing right now", Google Wave's is, "Do everything right now".

If Google gives Wave more focus I think the collaboration features could really be a killer app. Without it, Wave will die a quiet death. If it were not invite only would it feel as special? I think probably not.

Yep NB, it is far from perfect, but at least someone is starting the conversation.

Any other takers?

I think what's even more interesting is that Google is taking the XMPP standard that's been in development for nearly 10 years and really making a statement and committing to it. I like that! It's certainly the "wave of the future", yuk yuk, and it's going to be exciting to see if it helps us all better organise our communications through better search.
