Now that I realize Google Wave is only useful for projects/work/collaboration I need an invite for my wife... AKA my main collaborator. Who's got an invite for this beautiful young lady?
Thanks Todd. Lot of work to be done on both but we're getting by... with a little help from our friends.

Is there any reason that Wave will work better than email SAM? If you have clients and are trying to convince them to move to wave, what would be the killer argument over email? Just trying to figure out how this might work. I sent someone a demo and I couldn't really say why using wave would end up being better.

I think Wave (and similar ideas) will be the norm sooner rather than later, they have to be, they offer a new era of integration and that will play well as more of life/communication/education etc becomes multi-media/croud-sourced/collaborative. Right now the exclusivity of invites is a real deal breaker for Wave at the moment. I would say, I wouldn't advocate any client head that direction right now. If i were urging them that direction I would say...
- SAM
They would have to... 1) have an early adopter culture to begin with 2) understand or already be incorporating several mediums into their conversations 3) be doing it in an effort to think differently (i.e. taking on this new technology just to help their group evolve their thinking in more creative ways... or essentially using it to break old patterns).
- SAM
But for me personally, I like the easy to follow development of ideas I believe it will encourage... but I really haven't gotten a chance to kick the tires yet. Are you using it yourself very effectively yet?
- SAM
Not yet. I don't have an invite :-( You seemed to think it would help with collaboration I was wondering if you had used it that way yet and how it worked.
- Todd Hoff
Sam, I have an invite if you still need it. DM me.

Oh, and btw Sam, "Thanks Todd. Lot of work to be done on both but we're getting by... with a little help from our friends" +1
- Chieze Okoye
heheh... Thanks Rasheen... I married well above my means. Thanks Chieze, could you help Todd out with that invite?
- SAM
Todd: Haven't really gotten to use it fully yet. Anxious too though... perhaps the next company I work with will dig it. (Though I won't be able to take on any new clients until jan-feb as it sits right now.)
- SAM
Oh yeah, good point. Todd, if you want an invite, just DM me your email address. 8^D

Thanks to Chieze, I am now waved. Got that now what feeling. First thought is it looks a lot like email. Second thought is how will this play on mobile devices? Third thought is I would like a list of public list of active waves so I can see what's happening, kind of like FF. Fourth thought is they did a good job with the intro videos. Fifth thought is still what now.
- Todd Hoff
Use "with:public" for a list of active waves.
