Has anyone got an account yet? I'm waiting for my invitation from DH to be activated, but it looks like it could be great.

See here: 2 minute video

And here - a 5 minute video with 15 features of Google Wave

Sorry, I sound like a real geek (which is probably what I am)

Thanks for the links.

No, not got an account yet, but if you're feeling generous, perhaps you could send me an invite - please - to [email protected] (ignore the off-handedness of the username, please!)

Have fun when you are up and running - I can certainly see some uses, and I've only looked at the first of your links so far

miamla · 06/11/2009 11:37

my DP's got an account and i'm still waiting patiently for an invite...very patiently... honest!

I think it looks brilliant!

I have got an account, but I don't really know what to do with it! Only one contact on there who passed me the invite, but he's not someone I need to share info with really..

I can see how it would be great for work, but it'll be some years before they allow it at my workplace.

miamia DH sent me an invitation on Saturday and I finally got invited yesterday so you shouldn't be long. Unfortunately I can't invite anyone but we're going to see if we can get it set up for our Playgroup Committee.

I've had a bit of a play and think it looks as though it's going to be a great resource.

I'm on!!!! i've only got two contacts but hey, its a start!

WebDude · 12/11/2009 20:08

Let us know how useful you find it, now you're ready to get going...

miamla · 12/11/2009 20:18

oh i'm already loving it even without the contacts!

IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern · 12/11/2009 20:34

SO how do the people that invite you get an invitation?

PerArduaAdNauseum · 12/11/2009 20:36

I've applied for an invite for the next rollout - offered to bug report and everything. No idea how long it'll take though...

'tis Crackwhore btw

miamla · 13/11/2009 09:18

hi crackers! you change names as often as you change your knickers!
if i get any invites, i'm happy to send you one through.. and on a tangent... did you see i've put photos up? sorry for appalling photography skills, i really didn't do them justice

ineedacleaner... they invited specific people to test it eg developers etc and those developers invited their friends and then those friends invited their friends etc. Google really want to control the growth of it so that's why its all so restricted but at the same time, if your friends aren't on it then who would the developers test it with

YouDoughnut · 13/11/2009 10:35

Oohh, that looks very interesting and like it could make my life a lot easier. If anyone is willing to invite me the address is babedia at gmail dot com. Thanks!

PerArduaAdNauseum · 13/11/2009 10:48

Hi miamla - I like to think of it as dressing to suit my mood

Have just been sent a link to this online Wave guide - haven't looked at it yet, as I'm not sure if it'll just make me feel even more left out, but might be useful/interesting?

PerArduaAdNauseum · 13/11/2009 10:50

Oh and yes - saw photos. I need to remember to photo stuff myself. Refinished a chair as a present to a friend last month, completely forgot to get a picture (gah).

miamla · 13/11/2009 11:01

definitely avoid all links/sneak previews until you get an invite yourself! otherwise you'll be till yours arrives!

i stick to my original theory re names and knickers

well done on the chair, was it difficult? i've got a beautiful old chair that has been banished upstairs by my dp until i recover it. bloody cat used it as a scratching post on one of the arms

lol...i'll bet upholstery hasn't been discussed in geeky stuff before

right, i've overdone the smilies so i'm now aiming for a full house. i should probably be about over-using them but all i have to say about that is

is that it? did i get them all yet?

miamla · 13/11/2009 11:02

gah! missed a off!

PerArduaAdNauseum · 13/11/2009 11:09

TBH the hardest part was remembering where I'd left the big stapler.

Have a on me.

glasgowlass · 30/11/2009 09:39

I now have 5 invitations available for Google wave, anyone want one? x Give me your email and first 5 will get invitation

nannynick · 30/11/2009 09:54

How do you add contacts? I have Wave but don't really understand it yet. Think the issue may be that I don't really have anyone to chat to on it.
I've got invitations available... so anyone who wants one, let me know.

glasgowlass · 30/11/2009 10:05

The contacts, as far as I can see, are people you know who also have GW. As its just a preview and they are still ironing out all the tech problems think it will be that way for a while until it is rolled out to the masses, the way Gmail was.

TwentiethCenturyHeffa · 30/11/2009 10:11

I'd quite like to try this out if anyone has an invitation they don't mind sending me. My email is r. f. m. walker @ gmail. com (without spaces). Thanks!

glasgowlass · 30/11/2009 10:37

TCH I have added you on my invitation list, it does state that nominations for invitation are not sent straight away so may take a wee while to reach you!

KnickKnackLovesLateLateToyShow · 30/11/2009 10:51

Do you have anymore invites GL? I'd love one!
email is
