What Is Google Wave?

Posted on 14 November 2009   

What is Google Wave?

Google Wave is “a personal communication and collaboration tool” announced by Google at the Google I/O conference on May 27, 2009. It is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. This definition comes directly from Wikipedia.org.

The following video is long, but will answers any questions you may have about Wave.

I have been on Wave now for a couple weeks and personally don’t care for it. In all fairness it may be because I just don’t have a need for it right now. As more people join and business changes, so could my use of Google Wave. In the mean time, I am on Wave to build contacts and to make sure I don’t miss the next big thing.

With being a part of Google Wave I have been given invitations to invite others to try it. Since joining, I have received 38 invites, half are gone leaving me with 19 remaining.

Michael Sumner of MiniSites.com gave me 25 more invites for everyone. That means I have 44 in total to give away!

UPDATE – I’m out, no more invites!

Would you like to be a part of Google Wave?

If yes, post a message in the comments section with your accurate email address and how I we know each other. If I know you through Twitter please include your @address. At this time I am limiting the invitations to people I know, my Twitter/Facebook friends and ChefPatrick.com readers. As comments come in I will be sending out invitations.

I am inviting the people I know first.
