So I woke this morning to my google wave invite. In case you are unaware of google wave it is a email, IM, social, photo sharing, address book, open source community, search engine, Forum, everything platform that you really can't appreciate until you start messing with it. I am not going to make any bold predictions but I do wonder if this will be the cause to email becoming obsolete.

Wanna get in? You can't....apparently they have stopped accepting invite requests.

I can answer any questions you may have if any. Feel free to ask. I can tell you I have no clue how to truly use it and I am extremely tech savvy. I think I am making it a lot harder than I should.

My 3 favorite features so far are 1) live conversation....people see letter for letter what you type so it's live 2) Drag and drop images.....you can share an image/photo with friends and family by dragging the photo to the wave. 3) Share an embedded video that will play in the content section.

When I learn more I am sure that will change.
 
One of my friends said he sent me an invite this morning, but got this back:

Google Wave team said:
Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.

Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.

Happy waving!

If mine doesn't come through before Monday, do you mind writing an article about it for the DealerRefresh blog Ryan?

I think they are trying to do a really good job of keeping spam out. It gives us the same notice when we nominate people. I don't have a clue how long it's going to take.

I don't mind writing a blog about it but you will have to fix all my typo's and misspellings.
