Quick WebApp Update: Google Wave Goes Beta

Google Wave

Google's "Email 2.0" service, called Google Wave was announced back at the I/O conference, and has now entered a limited beta (in terms of number of people invited, no telling how long the service itself will be in beta).

Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

Since Steve Jobs probably isn't getting an invite anymore, if Google -- or anyone else -- has any to spare, please send them TiPb's way and we'll happily pick up the iPhone testing slack. (Shameless, yes. Joking, not one bit).

    I got an invite and I didn't apply till the nite b4... -yeah buddy 

  2. david says:

    i loathe you jonar1us.

  3. psudoc64 says:

    I got an invite and activated - the kicker is that you can only wave with other wavers - not you're regular contacts

  4. Al says:

    I hate you too Jonar1us! I applied less than a month after I/O and was denied! If this takes off, it will change the Internet permanently. How exciting!

  5. Christopher cox says:

    @psudoc64: I think it is obvious you will only be able to wave someone else that is using wave. You can't exactly give everyone elses mail service wave capabilities just because you are sending them a message using wave. That is just silly.

  6. Dev says:

    Until you (or somebody) makes a bot that can receive email and interface with an online address book, that is...

  11. icebike says:

    Characterizing Wave as email, (even in jest) is just wrong on so many levels.

    Someone invite Rene so he can get over his google rage. ;-)

  15. Haydt45 says:

    If you guys havent applied for invite, I suggest writing a long nice paragraph to the wave team in the space for it. It helps!
