    Google Wave testing

    Anyone received a Google Wave invite yet? http://www.google.com/support/wave

    I just received mine and now have it up and running but no one else to Wave with yet as it's so early and invites are hard to get. Addresses are name@googlewave.com Unfortunately does not integrate with Google Apps yet.

    I do like the concept though. But will it catch on?

    Ya, I have one but I fail at seeing the purpose in it.

    I was lucky in getting the name I wanted but just sent an invitation to myself to try and get an even better one. lol

    @Mark. There's a pretty long winded video that explains how it works and it does look very good but the concept relies upon your contacts using it, too. A quick glimpse here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBzuuWZPaXc and a really long corporate one here: http://wave.google.com/help/wave/about.html#video

    I've had it for a bit, but haven't used it much. Mainly, because nobody else I know really uses it. It's a cool concept, but I can see it scaring away lots of less-than-savvy people.

    I think that the sentiment by everyone is about the same. :|

    Funny. Good graphic and says a lot.

    GW is almost a case of premature ejaculation. The ejaculator is very excited but no one playing.

    Seriously? GW is great for large organisations with lots of staff but is only really useful for that type of collaboration. For the average punter, it is pretty useless. I love it though.
