GWave = a very confusing solution built to solve no particular problem
- Dave Pook
@Dave I bet there are many tools in your daily life you can't imagine any particular use for you. This doesn't mean it isn't usefull for others. Did you ever tried to send a Math formular over an IM? Colaborating?!
- JoeD
If you have any invites, feel free to share :). (antonyat AT gmail DOT com)

Well, the only one that seems to have a handle on it is Samuel L. Jackson but I couldn't stay long though he apologized for his unseemly language when explaining how to use it. :) Try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Google Wave to me its just a bit more complicated than Adobe connect. The main issue you want to resolve is remote communication with workmates in a virtual office. Visuals/and audio take care of the mimic but you need a record. So why not just make small visual records of meetings? Not mentally challenging enough for you? Well, then let's throw FF, email, chat, FB, and file sharing all together and see what happens.

I've noticed that in Google Wave, I've been locked out for a long time with this error message "You are not a participant in this wave". Also, I can't even seem to be able to open my Gmail normally; only in HTML-only version.
But I realized today that the actual problem was Google Chrome. This only happens in this browser, and it's fine in others like Firefox. Kinda ironic.
- Maxamad
I've never had any such issues with Chrome, Wave and gmail.
- Christopher A Carr
Chrome is slowest, crashiest browser I recall using, for me. Are you on the bleeding edge developer's version of Chrome or the normal one that's supposed to work?
- SuezanneC Baskerville
I'm on the latest dev and it is the complete opposite of "crashiest browser."
- Christopher A Carr
Chrome works fine (and usually faster) for js-intensive sites (and pretty much anysite). I don't think it's crashy, but it's just perplexing that it has these issues with gWave and Gmail.
- Maxamad
Well, I'm using Chrome 3.0.195.27 and Chromium 4.0.202.0 (Developer Build 23181). In Chromium, interestingly, I can't even login. I'll try updating to the latest for both of them and see if that makes any difference.
- Maxamad
I noticed that you're an "Amazigh" too! Since when? ;)

Since I discovered awesome Gnawa and Tamazight music!
- Maxamad
Ah! You discovered Gnawa! Great! Welcome aboard :)

The book, which is available for free online, details all of Wave’s features – and some use cases – in 8 chapters. It’s a super-handy reference if you’re still stuck on how to get the most out of Wave.

The Great Google Wave invite thread. Anyone who wants an invite post your Gmail address here and anyone who has invites available please use to invite the people on this list. There are also a bunch of requests in the Invites group here: http://friendfeed.com/invites
I have a few but holding them for a few people who have already asked me. I'm at kolint [at] googlewave [dot] com btw. A pain I know but if you can, could you update your comment when you have an account or just delete your comment. Ta! :-) EDIT: Try this site for invites: http://googlewaveinvites.com/
- Kol Tregaskes
Are people on this list getting invites or at least been told they have an invite on the way? You might have to be patient, it could take a long time for one to come through.
- Kol Tregaskes
Adam, yep agree. Maybe because I did that (month ago though) helped me get mine through from Vijay so quickly!
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol, the invitation process seems to be based on nominations. For example, everytime someone nominates/invites you, you get bumped up the queue for an account until you're at the top and you get sent an invite by the team
- Ysabel Legaspi
Ysabel, ah I see, So lots of people must have nominated me. Darn, so a few users I have nominated could be waiting a looooong time. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in. It's like I've been sat at the front of a shop queue and everyone's just walking right past me into the shop. I am British but I detest both queuing and waiting, so this is pretty tough going

neternity@gmail.com and i promise to send a wave of 100,901 twitter followers to your doorstep each of whom will have averaged 1 tweet in their existence - this might not get me an invite but surely it will get some notice - must have that something special - my google wave invite special sauce ingredient is twitter juice PS Not to be construed as an offer, not valid in any of the 53 US states, do not try this at home, caution: contents are hot.

Anyone have already a wave invite?. I'm a developers anxious to take a look at wave. jmiguel.rodriguez at gmail.com . Thank you very much in advanced!

lol at this point i gotta think that by the time an invite makes it this far down the list i may already be at the top of the official invite list but doesn't hurt to try right? marco [dot] nunez @ gmail - thanks!
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
I'm also trying. As Marco said, it doesn't hurt :) iamclem at gmail. thanks!

- Ross Button
how do we know which ones are sent? I'm just doing my own thread.
- Vezquex: God of FF
I've been too busy to get on FF the last few days....figures something important happening and I missed it! I knew about Google Wave but didn't know there would be a thread to post a request. In any case, better late than never, I'd love an invite at madeliene2007 at gmail.com. :)
- Bonnie Foster
I've been on Twitter all day trying to get one, I'd love it if my day can end by me finally getting an invitation :) I'll be sure to send some invites to other people in this thread! andryou@gmail.com

How does anyone know if someone has already been invited? You could go back and edit your comment when you receive an invitation, but since that takes days, it could be ages before you know.

I've not even had a nomination, RK. At google dot com I'm suezanne , in the event anyone wants to make a nomination. I've asked before on friendfeed. It's kind of humiliating to beg.

i have decided that if i do indeed get an invite, i will decline, forward my gmail account to windows live and put ie back as my default browser and i will bing it

I was wondering if that's what it was. Works pretty smooth, I'd like to see a notification system built into an Air app for Wave.

You can as well try inside Google chrome and then as a seperate application, you have the full version, with notifications in your taskbar
- Jaap Willem
As I searched public gWaves, I found someone saying he's creating a wave for his blog. I asked (in the/his wave) if it was on the web, the answer: http://www.aigarius.com/blog...
Kol: That's pretty neat. Wish it was shorter like wave.com or gwave.com (Google owns gwave.com anyway) or something.
- Nick Humphries
i think this @googlewave.com email address is a temporary thing during testing. after it goes live you should be able to just use it with your google account. at least that's what i think:)

Not sure if anyone else woudl find it useful, i'm going to add a load of you as friends and create a wave just to try stuff out in. Feel free to remove yourself from the wave or use it as you feel. Also feel free to add anyone else you think might want to be in on it

Karoli: is that your google wave nick or are you sniffling? :)

I'm sniffling because I don't have a google wave nick. Despite two invites, there is still nothing in my inbox. I am not in with the in crowd. :(

I don't know if I did something wrong, but I I got a form to fill out, when I hit submit, I got the same form again, I noticed two fields at the bottom - Invitation Field and Invitation Code - both blank - with a warning about modifying them. Should I populate these or leave them blank and hit submit again?
- Aaman (Clone of FF)
I got my access details in a few mins, but many people are facing problems with this form. They solved it by re-submitting it until they got a proper response.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Thank you - I now got this message: "Thanks for your Google Wave Developer Preview Account request. Once it's processed you'll get an email with your username and password. Thanks! The Google Wave Team"
- Aaman (Clone of FF)
same thing happened to me. filled form out, then got form again, but this time with 2 boxes at the bottom for email address and invite code. Filled those out, resubmitted, and it worked. Got my account 15 mins later.
- Kevin Whalen
I can't wait to be using Google Wave...
- Kamilah Gill
The cool part about it is being able to utilize all of Waves drag and drop functionality for images, files etc. then posting to Posterous using Wave instead of G-mail. Very useful. EDIT images did not post just text. Developer says it will soon support images. http://ericlogan.posterous.com/posting...

Lars Rasmussen: New build for Google Wave. Looking better. Among other, a 100,000 char word in a wave had floored us :( Pardon the interruption... - https://twitter.com/larsras...
What's different? Does it feel any snappier to you Ahsan? I think it might feel a little faster, but it's hard to tell with my crappy old computer..

Hehe - last night's problems seem to have disappeared. Can't say more than that!

What were last night's problems? Seems logging in on the iPhone still gives the "your browser is not supported" screen I have to go through in order to see the iPhone optimized page... lol
- sebastian☆rocket brother
last night problems - couldn't open waves. Created a wave and neither my friend nor I are participants of it but it's still sitting in my inbox! :D
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
I had a wave sandbox, but seem to have forgotten my password and they've got poor support, Google-style - an invite would be most appreciated at aamanlamba (gmail)
