I have 7 invitations, please post here if you want one. First 8 to post get them. No private messages please.

Please don't post if you're just going to use it a few times to check it out. Looking for people that are actually going to be useful to the testing process.

If you're in the first 7 posts, send me a PM with the email you want the invite sent to or just post it in your post.

Thanks!

EDIT: Gave away an invitation to an interested friend. Sorry! 7 left!

I'd like one. I want to see if I can find a way to use it in my classroom.

I'll PM you with an email address.

I was not sure what this was so I looked it up.

Quote:
What is a wave?


A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

Seems more or less like a Email and Instant chat rolled into one set up.

Not sure I yet see a point in it beyond not having to have two programs running at the same time

But Obviously need to work with it and give it time to see what else it might be good for.

Be nice if it had a voice chat program on it.

I have some as well, pm me if you need. It is probably widespread enough now that everybody has one.

gwiber, you should watch that whole video. It does a lot more than just IM and email put together.

I have 16 of them. So far it has been largely "eh....what?" Most underwhelming beta ever. :p

if you want em, pm me an email.

yeah, I go to the site and it is meh.

Maybe when more people get there it will be better but right now it kinda sucks.

I still have invites if you want to see for yourself

I agree. I'm surprised this is even called a beta. I'm sure once it's closer to being finished and people are allowed to sign up it may take off because it's supposed to be about staying connected with people and community. With a limited few people and few features you can't really see the platform shine.

Well I've already gotten 3 of my classmates signed up and we started a wave on our Linear Algebra final and we're about to start working through some proofs.

I heard about a guy who did some searching and found AD&D waves and had a ball gaming.

I doubt I'd have much to do with it if I didn't already have a plan how to use it. In that respect, I guess Its a 'get out what I put into it' thing. ie it's not passive entertainment.

it's slow and clunky right now, sure, but it's far from stupid. This is definitely a *beta,* and you can tell that it will be better.

Hell, the interface we're using isn't even really what we're previewing; it's the protocols underneath the hood that I hope will take off. Other companies can and will create much better interfaces if it takes off.
