Google Wave

Is still cool. I’ve got a pile of invites; anyone want one?
(Since people keep asking: Google Wave is not, in and of itself, anything new. It is, rather, a beautifully conceived [though not yet quite fully implemented!] melding of existing technologies. The tag-line version is that it is a integration of wiki, IM, email, and collaborative document editing, with line-item threaded responses and real-time typing from other users visible. Many people balk at this last point, but it’s (a) really surprisingly useful and makes communication a lot more like, well, real conversation, and (b) eventually going to be configurable.)
It really needs a stand-alone client before I’ll use it more than occasionally. Browser based stuff just doesn’t cut it for me.
Realty? The Gmail browser client is, to my mind, fantastic. I’m quite willing to use browser-based interfaces.
Oh, I’m so in if you’ve got enough! I’m always one for playing around with Google’s new toys.
How are you?
I are well! I will send an invite soon, but if I forget, remind me.
This is a reminding prod to send me an invite. ::prod::
Done!
I still don’t understand what it is.
can I get an invite? I’m intrigued…
Added. It might take a while for Google to send it to you.
