Does everything Google touch turn to gold? Not quite but Google does have an incredible track record for innovation. I guess that’s what happens when Google lets their employees spend 20% of their time on any project they want!
Several months ago, I posted a Google Wave preview from the 2009 Google I/O Developer Conference. I stated that it *might* be the next BIG thing. Well, after getting my invitation and spending a few hours with it, I must say that I was wrong: Google Wave is undoubtedly the next BIG thing.
Let’s face it, email hasn’t changed since the dawn of mainframes. It’s about time someone move past the technology dinosaur and actually revolutionize how we communicate. This tool is so impressive that even Google-haters will secretly covet it. Their only wish would be that the tech company that they worship (whether it be Apple or Microsoft) created the concept first.
Google calls it an “online tool for real-time communication and collaboration” but I’m sure you want to know how it benefits you. All I can say is if you haven’t seen the Google Wave preview yet, here it is again below. Grab some popcorn and see for yourself.
Google Wave is currently by invitation only. If the video gets your juices flowing, ask me for an invite in the comments area since I have some to give away. I’ll use the email you posted with (unless otherwise noted) and Google will kick it off to you in a few days.

Gabe, I would like to give googlewave a try too. The video sucked me right in!
No problem. I think everyone who got an invite gets 8 to send out. Not a bad “viral” tactic.
I still learn what and how google wave after create my account on it. And this video surely great source for my learning. Thanks gabe.
Appreciate if you can write a post what exactly the benefit of google wave.

Hi Gabe! I just discovered your blog…going to need to find some time to explore. I am thinking about adding a blog to my website.
I would love an invite to wave, if you have any left.
Hey Gabe,
Thanks for sharing. I’ve heard a lot of hype about Google Wave. It will be interesting to see what kind of super powers they put together with this one.
If you are willing, I’d love to check it out.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

I might just have to do that.
Glad you found me. I actually just posted an article last week about
corporate blogs.
Anyway, I just sent you a Google Wave invite. Enjoy!
With the brothers who created Google Maps leading the way, Google Wave is actually quite a beast.
BTW, invite sent!
Google wave is really a nice place to collaborate things and discuss among teams.. .

It’s amazing when seeing other typing in real-time. But it’s quite silent now and I still prefer Twitter.

I haven’t looked even a little yet – is it comparable to messenger or what?
BTW, nice theme.

You won’t know until you try it or watch the vid. It’s not just a messaging service.
I’ve try it myself and I love it. The only negative side that I don’t like is, I really don’t have a lot of time to wait for group members to communicate in real time.
BTW, are you using a new themes Gabe. looks really nice.

You have to treat the real time messaging as an enhancement to the way IM is currently done.
Either way, as more and more people get on the Wave, it’ll be more like a community. Right now, it’s like an empty cruise ship but you can envision the potential once the party starts.
Hi Gabe,
If you have more of those invites left, would love to have one.
I think that Google is Pinky and the Brain reincarnated … it is definitely coming closer and closer to ruling the world!

Google Wave was mentioned last night at my Monday IM Mastermind group but we didn’t have time to go into it.

You’re welcome. Have fun exploring!
I finally received my Google Wave invite but haven’t had a good look into it yet. I logged in but that was about it and then promptly forgot about it as I had other things to do that day. So reading this email has given me a much needed reminder to get in there and start ‘waving’.

Honestly, there’s only so much you can play with right now since not everyone is using it yet. But it’s still pretty easy to see the potential behind it!
I was a lucky man to be among the first bloggers who could use Wave and I do love its chat feature, it is realllllllllllllll time one even at little bit risky if we use them in business communication

Google Wave is amazing. I can’t wait until most of my friends and colleagues get their invites.
It’ll take a little while for folks to get invites and start using it but even with a few friends, one should be able to see the crazy power behind it!

Google wave is perhaps the biggest innovation in online communication. I am enjoying it
It’s so true. Google Wave is absolutely leading edge communication in the greatest form.
havent used Google Wave much yet, actually i dont have an invitation to this next BIG thing yet
Sorry, I’m out of invites for now. I’m sure someone has to have one since all invited users get a handful to pass out.
it’s good to find out what really needs visitors, providing the best information, of course, which will benefit from the increasing popularity of your blog. give first and you will receive the following benefits. with a lot of visitors will surely increase sales. be prepared to get a flood of visitors from SE, especially google with all excess
I just got my invite… can’t wait to check out Google Wave

Google wave is nice but until unless every one starts using it,, its a waste of time.. When I got my hand on Google wave initially I thought im going to love it. But, now I dont ven remember when was the last time I logged into Google wave account.

I love how powerful it is but you’re right that it’ll take a little time for users to pop in.
I would appreciate an invite if you have any left. Im a Google fan. I think the world should be run by Google. So Google wave is my next logical step in my fandom. Great blog by the way!
I just got more in so expect to the invite to arrive soon.

Hi Gabe,
Wow – I’m feeling left out – still hadn’t heard of Google Wave until today. I’ll need to get myself up to date huh!

The truth is, as amazing Google Wave is, it’s not getting the traction that some people have hoped, including Google and yours truly.
The launch of Google wave is good, but still now we can’t find that it is on popular talk. I hope once it got up in the position all will move to Wave. Is it true..?

Google Wave was a big flop show. hope that Google comes up with something nice this time around!
