Google Wavers?!
 

Anyone here with a Wave account?!

I'd create a revscene wave to see but let's see if there's anyone here

Send an invite my way!!!

yea me too

whats this now?

me too

I haven't even had my account activated for Wave... fml D:

Sorry guys only had 8 invites and used them up for the time being. If i get more I'll try and share. Preview only started with 100,000 accounts. I'm sure there are a lot more accounts that are going to be opened up soon. And it's only really fun when you have your friends sharing and sending a wave with you

So basically it's like a Live-action Forum. Would be crazy if Revscene was like this per forum.

so its a forum. plain n simple

or a forum/irc chat merger

i have an account if you wanna start an RS wave :)

waiting for google to give me an invite....

likewise :p

...sure if you want to think of it like that. Like the video said, that pretty much scraps the top of what it's really capable of. And if you think that's all it is I dont think you really understand what it is....But you wouldn't be alone...

woo 2 person wave =p. Can't wait for more invites to go out.

Ohh send me an invite so i can invite more people!!

Would be great if some1 can send me an invite. :D

icepin@gmail.com

I want an invite!!

so from the sounds of the video, this is most useful to business people. I look at it and go ok cool! but then realise for most people = useless.

Here's what I think. After a few days of limited time with Wave i really see this possibly changing the way we interact with each other online. Yes business will be able to benefit from this greatly by increase collaboration. There have been a lot of online tools that try and accomplish this but Google here is trying to throw in a bunch of different tools together. What usually happens in those cases is it's trying to do too much and you almost get that feeling when you start with Wave. I was lost and saying to myself...well why would I want to switch to this?

The integration they're pushing is for wave to go everywhere. From what I gathered in the 8 minute geeky video is basically once wave goes public you'll be able to throw a "wave" into any site. Like commenting on an blog. Instead of a blog...being a blog (WP, etc) it's now a public "Wave" and people can comment on it and you'll be updated instantly on your inbox. This means threads can be replaced by "waves". Twitter? Facebook? Same thing.

It also pretty much merges e-mail and IM together. Do you ever have separated conversations with people via e-mail and chat?

- When they're online you chat with them on your client.
- When they're not there you just e-mail them.

But it's all disjointed. Maybe you sent them a picture, then they reply to you via IM. And it goes back and forth. One day you're looking for something they said, maybe they said it on chat, maybe on e-mail or even facebook. With waves it's all there as one wave. If they're online they'll see what you're typing and reply instantly like IM. If you sent them a funny picture, they'll reply to that picture individually.

I mean if people really latch onto this, Wave can replace any online communication/collaboration/networking tool.


ANyways if anyone bothered to read that and was not confused pat yourself on the back.

I did read all that and it doesn't sound like anything I want, if all my facebook/forum/blog/IM shit got dumped into my inbox I'd never get through anyways. to me that shit needs to stay separate for a reason. That, and I don't need the entirety of my conversation with someone in some obscenely long list, once I close that chat window or that series of e-mails stops, it's dead, there is no need to for it.. Oh well, see if it catches on at all.

Well to each his own I guess. You wouldn't necessarily have to use it like that but...we'll see how our perspective changes in a couple years when we're bombarded with so many different technologies and ways of communicating that we'll either need something similar or pack our bags move out into the countryside burning all our electronics along the way.

INVITE PLEASE D:

merging im/email/wiki with each other sounds like a blast. And I'm SURE Google will put a Google Wave app out for Android phones.

this would be great for doing team projects for school

what the fuck i've been using google beta shit since forever, they should invite me. i requested one already.

So basically it is a consolidated networking tool? Where users use one source rather than multiple (facebook/im/ etc etc).
