Google Wave

[jebus]

can anyone give me a rundown of what this is?

Only thing I can find online is a 90 minute google video and thankfully I'm able to say I have better things to do with my time than watch that

I hear it's invite only too?

It's just web-based email, IM and social networks merged, basically, with things like media built-in. I'm looking for an invite if anyone has one, professional curiousity.

I managed to bag an invite, but I don't really know a)what to do or b)who to wave at!

I don't have any invites though.

Hmmmmm.....Google generally do good stuff, but it sounds a bit like the new Twitter.

Which, IMO is a method of communication developed by and for ADHD sufferers.

I think I'll reserve judgement for the minute.

Far more important is Google's announcement that they are going to start offering free turn-by-turn Sat Nav. This could be epic and effectively destroy Garmin, Tom Tom etc.

But if anyone has a wave going spare, I wouldn't say no :D

Wave is absolutely nothing like Twitter ORA. If something could be the opposite of Twitter, it would be Wave.

Unfortunately I'm not sure anything can be the opposite of a steaming pile of crap.

It's either a gimmick, little more than a bunch of cats taped together, or it'll prove a revolutionary consolidation of the communication tools available on the internet.

[dahamsta]

Probably the former. Email needs to be rebooted to kill off all the spam, but Wave ain't the answer.

Holy crap. Taping a bunch of cats together is a brilliant idea.
