Looking Through the Lens: Wave

Wave

So almost my entire office is having a blast playing with Google Wave. The closest I can come to describing it is that it's IM on steroids and speed. It has the potential to be a great collaboration tool (or possibly time waster...) It really is a lot of fun getting to know my way around. It's still in testing so it's not perfect yet and it's not available without an invite.

That said, I have 6 invites left for this thing. If anyone wants an invite to Google Wave let me know. I'm willing to give away at least 4 of the invites here to whoever asks first. Just leave me a comment with your Gmail address and I'll get it sent to you.

Update: I actually now have 22 invites left. Let me know if you want one! :)

I know this is a dumb question, But how or what is the game and how do you play it? Does that question make sense? I hope so!!!; December 10, 2009 at 12:30 PM
Sarah Katie said...: I would love to be invited to wave. My email is talesfromthetower@gmail.com.; December 10, 2009 at 1:00 PM
Jaina said...: Gramma Ann-No problem :) It's kind of like an instant messenger program that lets you collaborate with multiple people. You can add in documents, pictures, maps, games, etc. You can edit live and even use voice and video chat. It has the potential to be a great collaboration tool.

Sarah Katie-Sent the invite, should be in your box soon!; December 10, 2009 at 1:33 PM

Jaina said...: Gramma Ann-Sounds like a fun plan. I'll be interested in hearing what you think about it.; December 11, 2009 at 7:00 AM

How are you doing? Are you on Facebook?

Let me know? I seem to be on there more than Blogger lately, just time, time, time.

Hope all is well with you and you family.

Momo Fali said...: I'm kind of scared to get myself involved with something else! But, I'll take one if you still have any available.

Jaina said...: Cheryl-Hey! You've probably seen it, but I sent you an invite over the weekend. As for Facebook, I have an account but I am rarely on it. I'm doing well though...just really busy right up until we leave Wednesday.

Tabitha-It's definitely easy to waste time on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Wave Gives you a decent overview.

Momo-It's really fun! :) And I sent you an invite :); December 14, 2009 at 5:27 PM
Trooper Thorn said...: I'm afraid of technology. Will it give me motion sickness?; December 16, 2009 at 1:53 PM
Jaina said...: Trooper-The potential for motion sickness increases with the number of users in a single wave. But generally, no ;); December 16, 2009 at 1:55 PM
