The demand for Google Wave invites


So, i logged on this morning to my email, and finally i found an email from Google with aGoogle Wave Invite. Now i am not sure how i got this invite, i never asked anyone (If any of my friends added me thanks). However i did sign up for the developer preview and was put on to the waiting list. I also registered http://mywave.co.za when i signed up, which will soon be turned into a local .co.za wave server

Anyways, i signed up this morning for the account and found i had 8 Invites/Nominations.

I posted this on twitter, boy did i underestimate the demand for the invites. Within a few minutes i had a few 100 @replies, from people not even following me. So… who to send the invites to? I decided to be fair, and offer it to the first 7 people who Retweeted my last tweet. People already following me obviously had the advantage (since the last tweet was already on their timeline)

Aneways, most of the invites have been sent (Note: Google will not send out invites immediately, as and when they have capacity they will send out the invites, see above)

If you get an invite, play it forward and send others!

If you have a wave account and havent figured out how to invite people, just search for ‘Invite Others’ in your inbox window and the wave to invite people will come up.

If you are on wave, feel free to add me:
