Might be my friends got them because I sent invites to them first.

How far down am I on that list?

MegaByte · « **Reply #26 on:** October 27, 2009, 06:19:02 PM »

Just got mine, finally. Thanks!

Stogi · « **Reply #27 on:** October 27, 2009, 06:27:21 PM »

I just got mine as well! Good looking out!

ThePerm · « **Reply #29 on:** October 27, 2009, 10:20:16 PM »

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #30 on:** October 27, 2009, 10:23:35 PM »

I applied on Google's page but haven't heard squat yet.

Aaron, have you tried it? My plan was to use it for staff meetings, but it sounds like it'll have wide-ranging public applications as well.

Stogi · « **Reply #31 on:** October 27, 2009, 10:27:09 PM »

Right now, I'm not sure how or why I should use it.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #32 on:** October 27, 2009, 10:38:57 PM »

Does it force your real name on the screen or does just a nickname/handle/username show up for you guys?

Stratos · « **Reply #33 on:** October 27, 2009, 10:47:18 PM »

It has my real name, but I gave it my real name when I signed up for Google in the first place years ago.

I got the invite and tried it out. Pretty neat. Probably the best place for Maxi and I to collaborate on mafia games.

hmm, it seems totally disconnected for me, searching brings up nothing, and iv gotten no replies

Stratos · « **Reply #35 on:** October 27, 2009, 11:16:41 PM »

My wave 'exploded'...LOL.

ThePerm · « **Reply #36 on:** October 27, 2009, 11:49:38 PM »

i got into a chat with Blacknmild, and this is definitely beta

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #37 on:** October 28, 2009, 01:58:09 AM »

A couple of issues so far without having really experienced what Google Wave is beyond a realtime chat. I know that it is only in Preview status (aka beta), but if I knew where to submit feedback this is what I would send in;

1) Display name. I want an easy way to decide what my display name is and if possible, a way to choose the display name based on who is looking at it.
i.e. If I'm talking to one of you, I want to use my forum name, if I'm talking to maybe a friend from school days, then maybe I want to display my real name.

2) Inserting Text. I guess inserting text anywhere into the conversation is a good idea on paper, but the conversation moves on in real time. How am I supposed to know if someone new joins the conversation and decides to comment directly to something said off screen? This also leads to a very jumbled converstation that can be a littel hard to follow if you were to read it later.

3) Alert Sounds. It is a completely silent program at this stage. The only way you know someone replied is to physically check and see. It would be nice to not only have an alert sound, but maybe be able to assign a certain sound to certain people or certain sounds to different conversations(waves).

Anyone else have any other feedback so far?

ThePerm · « **Reply #38 on:** October 28, 2009, 02:15:15 AM »

its buggy too, the last convo we had i cant even look at...it just displays blank

also i found out you can display more than one wave at once, which could be pretty nifty

It would be great for staff meetings, and probably for general purpose stuff, like our editing process, e-mail chat threads, etc. But without the ability to have anybody you want on it right now, it's pretty much useless.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #40 on:** October 28, 2009, 02:24:23 AM »

not to mention my convo with ThePerm hit turbulence and was about to explode, so we had to end one convo and start another.

ThePerm · « **Reply #41 on:** October 28, 2009, 02:29:18 AM »

the second one is the one i cant look at

I found out that the middle section "inbox" numbers how many unread messages there are in each conversation for you and if you click on the number it will jump you straight to it. It's colored yellow for easy identification.

so inserting random text shouldn't be a problem like I thought it would be.

ThePerm · « **Reply #44 on:** October 29, 2009, 06:46:08 PM »

typing "with:public" sometimes works sans " of course

Alright I'll try this out. Keep in mind I am not near a working CPU at the moment so I am not sure how well this is going to work.

How do I get in?

Stratos · « **Reply #46 on:** October 30, 2009, 06:33:00 PM »

I'll send you an invite.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #47 on:** November 02, 2009, 01:28:11 PM »

How long does it typically take to receive the invite?

Stratos · « **Reply #48 on:** November 02, 2009, 02:20:46 PM »

I actually can't figure out how to send the invite. I badgered Kraken about it so we'll see what he says. I assumed every user got invites to send out like with Gmail.

Stogi · « **Reply #49 on:** November 02, 2009, 02:24:46 PM »

yeah but not users that were invited by a friend.
