100,000 invitations to preview Google Wave

VN:F [1.6.1_878]
How many of you have been waiting for Google Wave? For those of us who have not yet heard about it, Google wave is supposed to be the next big thing in collaboration, communication and one of the most awaited software tool from the Google Stable. According to Google, “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”.

So if you are curious enough now or have been curious enough about Google Wave, your wait might just get over.Starting Wednesday, September 30 Google be sending out more than 100,000 invitations to preview Google Wave to:

Don’t get disheartened if you don’t fall into any of these categories, you can still get a preview invitation if you know someone who is one of the lucky few early users allowed to nominate people they know also to receive early invitations.

According to Google:

Google Wave is a lot more useful if your friends, family and colleagues have it too. This, of course, will just be the beginning. If all goes well we will soon be inviting many more to try out Google Wave.

Some of you have asked what we mean by preview. This just means that Google Wave isn’t quite ready for prime time. Not yet, anyway. Since first unveiling the project back in May, we’ve focused almost exclusively on scalability, stability, speed and usability. Yet, you will still experience the occasional downtime, a crash every now and then, part of the system being a bit sluggish and some of the user interface being, well, quirky.

Wave has been in the news, not only for all the features that it promises to introduce, but also because we have not seen anything from the Google Stable which can take on the Facebook, Twitters of social media.

I am waiting to see if I get an invitation, in case I don’t get an invitation and one of you are the one who can recommend my name, please do so.
