introduce you to my blogging and life 
My Google Wave invites have just been replenished. I’ve got a few to give away if you are interested. Just ask very nicely. A thoughtful comment would be nice. Or some barter exchange. A script. A piece of software. I don’t know. Surprise me.
Update 5: No more invites available for the time being, I’ll wait until the ones I sent have been activated, which hasn’t happened yet. I guess the latest wave (pardon the pun) of invites released to current users overwhelmed the team. Be patient, they will arrive...
On a different topic, I am now running Windows 7 and enjoying it very much so far.
Update 4: Still looking for a deal on Windows 7, 32 bit Home Premium... Any students out there not needing to upgrade or blessed with a Mac?
Update 3: Patience everyone, none of the invites I sent have been processed yet. As I said, it might take a few days. You’ll get an email from wave-noreply with the subject « Your invitation to preview Google Wave ». Make sure to check your spam folder as some people have reported finding that email in the spam...
Update 2: Those of you who have already received my invite are welcome to drop me a wave for testing purposes...
vmounier ( a t ) googlewave ( d o t ) comUpdate: Ok, invites are going fast, so I’m going to up the game a bit. I’d really like to upgrade my laptop to Windows 7. If anybody can get me a good deal, there’s still an invite waiting.
For lack investigating time, I can’t say I’ve played with Google Wave much since its limited release a few weeks ago. I would describe Wave as a fusion of email, chat, social networking and online cooperation tool. It retains Gmail’s famous conversation-based style and indeed, like Gmail years ago, it is being made available as a beta to a select crowd via an invite-led viral campaign.
I’m not much of social networking freak myself, so my testing of Wave will be aleatory. I wish it was somehow integrated with Gmail, which would in my eyes make it much more useful. Still, Google is storming the web with cloud applications and communications tools, and with Google Voice having just been launched and the Chrome OS soon to follow, one can be sure that Wave fits snugly into a grand scheme that would, and probably will, consecrate Google as the leading worldwide online player.
« I would be very grateful for an invitation to Google Wave. I am a good Netizen, and I spend much of my time, professionally and personally, trying to help others be more productive.

« Hi Chris,
Your invite is on its way, be patient, they roll them out slowly, might take a few days...
Date of comment: 2009-11-01 14:30 •Well, this is a start. Not quite the 10 paragraph comment I was hoping for, but others will now have to do better.
Cheers, Vince »

« Invite on its way. Thanks for the student tip, I was aware of it but am afraid I’m not a student myself. Now if I knew someone with a Mac who was a student and didn’t intend on using the offer, for instance...

« What would I do with Wave? I barely have time enough to answer my emails
Date of comment: 2009-11-01 19:41 •But I expect a friend will flick me an invitation;he always sends me « interesting » add-ons and apps and links.
Speaking of links - from Marie, I followed a link to a lovely photography site.If you’ve not already seen it try http://xenogere.com/ »
« Yes, the photos there are lovely. And bravo for not giving in to new tricks too easily. Let me know if you change your mind.

Date of comment: 2009-11-02 08:53 •Great for online teaching and collaborating. I use it for working on my designs with other in my field.
Its free and pretty simple - you just upload your file and invite others to view it together.

« Thanks for the idea, I’ll look it up! Now does this mean you were skillfully asking for an invite or not?

« Hi,
Date of comment: 2009-11-02 23:09 •I wouldn’t quote anything regarding the invites because they have just about run out, sorry... But I’m sure a lot of other people have them too... »
« I have two reasons to beg for an invite.
Date of comment: 2009-11-02 20:21 •First, I am a MS engineer and have been since NT 3.1. I am rooted in providing solutions for small businesses. I was poking around looking for a COS download and saw your soliciation for invites. I think something else is coming and have been wondering if Wave is it.
Secondly, my wife is also in the IT field and she would think I was really, really cool if I got an Wave invite.
Please, make me cool again. It has been years.

« Hi Joe,
Date of comment: 2009-11-02 23:03 •Ok, you were the first to make me laugh. Please confirm that you will get the invite at the email you provided because your server isn’t responding for the URL given. Then be patient, as the Wave team puts it in the invite wave, « Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick. » I think a few days will do it.
Now, if you’re MS-plugged and can get me a deal on Windows 7, that would be even sweeter...
Speaking of COS downloads, I’ve poked around too recently but the leaked versions were Linux only, has that changed? »
« What do I have to offer ? Well only to say that you are doing a great thing by inviting interesting comments/exchanges.

Date of comment: 2009-11-03 05:06 •Only that I have none to offer , but to only say that such schemes have a premium only for a limited time after which it becomes a commodity.
So if you get things in this forum, cheers ; if you dont , no sweat.
Do I get my sweets now ?
« Uh, that was a bit of Chinese to me, but sweets were sent. »
Date of comment: 2009-11-03 19:14 •« Hey, I’m a student at a university that partners with microsoft in the MSDNAA. I can get you a free copy of Windows 7 since I won’t be using mine. Get in contact with me via email and we’ll trade invite for OS. »
