Google Wave

Fman99 Nov 05 2009 06:17 AM

I am in on the beta. So, we can try and conjure up a CPF Wave at some point if there are others out there who also are in on that beta and want to play around with the technology.... Sorry to say, I do not have any invites to offer at this time. But if you're in, then start a new CPF Wave and invite me. My Google Wave name is my actual first and last names, separated by a period. PM me if you don't know my name.

I asked for an invite, didn't get it yet.

What is Google Wave?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 05 2009 07:23 AM Re: Google Wave

As I understand it, it's like a document + social network at once. Good to organize projects and groups.

http://wave.google.com/help/wave/closed.html I think Willets has it.

Edgy DC Nov 05 2009 07:33 AM Re: Google Wave

I'm a little shy about letting Google run one more show.

themetfairy Nov 05 2009 07:39 AM Re: Google Wave

I got my invitation this morning.

cooby Nov 05 2009 06:10 PM Re: Google Wave

Looks too busy for my blood. Have fun.

Nymr83 Nov 05 2009 06:22 PM Re: Google Wave

looks cool, and i love Google, but i doubt i'll use it unless it becomes relevant at work or something

dgwphotography Nov 06 2009 04:37 AM Re: Google Wave

too many social networking sites - too little time...

Methead Nov 06 2009 08:06 AM Re: Google Wave

I want.

Willets Point Nov 06 2009 09:34 AM Re: Google Wave

I have it but haven't been able to make much use of it. Looks like it would actually be better for work than personal use.

A Boy Named Seo Nov 06 2009 11:49 AM Re: Google Wave

I'll play if my invite comes through.

seawolf17 Nov 06 2009 12:14 PM Re: Google Wave

Definitely intrigued, and something that I'd definitely use from what I've seen, but I'm still waiting on an invitation also.

Kong76 Nov 06 2009 06:51 PM Re: Google Wave

Google Calendar, Gmail, Contacts, etc. is very Blackberry friendly. I'd like to check out Wave, but nobody loves me ...

themetfairy Nov 06 2009 07:46 PM Re: Google Wave

I haven't been given any friggin' invites to distribute yet....

Kong76 Nov 06 2009 08:03 PM Re: Google Wave

I didn't mean you, I meant in general, if you we're answering me. Google is strange, I'm a Google head ... if they keep track of that stuff they should include me. I signed up a long time ago it seems to participate. Wah, I'm getting whiny.

themetfairy Nov 06 2009 08:18 PM Re: Google Wave

OK FWIW, I'm on Google apps at least as much as you are. I should have gotten an invite from Google directly, instead of relying on the kindness of one of my Rutgers instructors....

Fman99 Nov 11 2009 08:13 AM Re: Google Wave

I have eight invites to give out. Send me a PM with your email address if interested.

themetfairy Nov 11 2009 08:18 AM Re: Google Wave

When they issue you invitations to distribute, how do they do it? Do they just add something to your Wave?

seawolf17 Nov 11 2009 08:46 AM Re: Google Wave

I supposedly have an invite coming, but haven't seen it yet, so I don't suppose I'd kick another one out of bed just in case.

Fman99 Nov 11 2009 09:03 AM Re: Google Wave

[quote="themetfairy":3cqjpq0h]When they issue you invitations to distribute, how do they do it? Do they just add something to your Wave?[/quote:3cqjpq0h] It shows up as a new wave with the subject "Invite Others to Google Wave."

[quote="seawolf17":57m6tvb8]I supposedly have an invite coming, but haven't seen it yet, so I don't suppose I'd kick another one out of bed just in case.[/quote:57m6tvb8] They take 2-3 days to arrive typically.

Fman99 Nov 12 2009 06:17 AM Re: Google Wave

Last chance today - if you want a Google Wave PM me. Otherwise I hand them out to the unwashed masses.

Methead Nov 12 2009 10:55 AM Re: Google Wave

Thanks for the invite, Fman... I appreciate it!

A Boy Named Seo Nov 12 2009 11:34 AM Re: Google Wave

Got it, too, dude. thanks.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 12 2009 06:28 PM Re: Google Wave

Thanks fman! Now what? Hmmmm...

metirish Nov 12 2009 06:45 PM Re: Google Wave

Thanks fman....how do you turn it on?

A Boy Named Seo Nov 12 2009 07:30 PM Re: Google Wave

Me & Metfairy gave it a run today. Our party was kinda lame with just the two us, we concluded. The upload/download options that would seem to make it more interactive by bringing stuff in we could both work on or whatever were grayed out for us, so in the end we were all, "what do you think?" "it's OK." "Yah, it's OK."

Kong76 Nov 12 2009 08:19 PM Re: Google Wave

Thanks to Fman too ... am I correct in understanding it takes a couple of days?

Kong76 Nov 12 2009 08:36 PM Re: Google Wave

Never mind, I'm in. What'll we collaborate on? lol

Methead Nov 13 2009 06:04 AM Re: Google Wave

Yeah, I'm hoping I can use it to collaborate with clients more effectively... I've used something called Cozimo (www.cozimo.com) for that purpose, and it worked well. I'm thinking eventually Google Wave and a few add-ons or plugins or whatever might help me do the same thing.

Kong76 Nov 13 2009 03:33 PM Re: Google Wave

If anyone with Wave would like to join the CPF Wave Discussion Wave, please PM me your gmail address and I'll add you.

A Boy Named Seo Nov 13 2009 10:21 PM Re: Google Wave

Sent. Good idea, man. Edit: D'oh, looks like you already added me. Thanks.

Kong76 Nov 14 2009 02:30 AM Re: Google Wave

Lol, you were there before me I think. I don't really understand everything yet.

themetfairy Nov 14 2009 06:51 AM Re: Google Wave

If someone is a Gmail contact of yours and you are both on Wave, that person will automatically show up as one of your contacts.

Kong76 Nov 14 2009 07:30 AM Re: Google Wave

I don't recall ever emailing with Seo in gmail, so I'll take your word for it that he was in my contacts. One thing I like about the google world is everything is all meshed so seamlessly and works quickly. I edited Seo's contact info in gmail to his real name instead of just that email addresss that was showing up -- flip over to Wave and refresh -- and blammo, it's updated there too.

dgwphotography Nov 14 2009 02:31 PM Re: Google Wave

As a complete Google-phile, I'm surprised I don't have an invite yet - hell, I even have google voice. That's another benefit of having an Android phone - everything calendar, address book, voice, all sync up seemlessly

Kong76 Nov 14 2009 02:47 PM Re: Google Wave

I don't know anything about other devices, but my Blackberry loves the google empire too.

dgwphotography Nov 14 2009 02:57 PM Re: Google Wave

Android is set up where all you have to do is enter in your google sign in name at initial set up, and it automatically pulls in your contacts and calendar.

Kong76 Nov 14 2009 03:12 PM Re: Google Wave

Blackberry is a little different, you have to get a 'google sync' app. After that anything you change in calendar, contacts, etc. that you change in either the device or on the computer it all stays sync'd up. Google maps has an app too, it's scary that it knows where you are all the time ... luckily I'm always where I'm supposed to be lol.

dgwphotography Nov 14 2009 03:44 PM Re: Google Wave

I love google maps on my phone - that alone has been worth the price of the phone...

Kong76 Nov 14 2009 08:26 PM Re: Google Wave

It's freaky, the intersections are dead on.

themetfairy Nov 25 2009 07:55 AM Re: Google Wave

Does anyone still need a Google Wave invitation?

metirish Nov 25 2009 08:02 AM Re: Google Wave

Shoot, I forgot that I have Wave.
