I'm not sure how long it takes to get a message once a person is invited, but I haven't seen anything yet.

Is there some kind of delay?

Same same, but if there giving 100 000 users 8 invites and those people use them all then they have 800 000 people to approve and being the weekend, they might not get to them all in a great hurry.

Waiting waiting waiting ......

Are the google wave invites on EBAY a scam?

I would love to have an invite if anyone would like to send one this way ([email protected])

Currently google stock is at 537.xx I bet once google wave is officially released it will be over 1,000 per share.

Why would you buy an invite to a free service online? Be patient.

$1,000 a share? Not even close. You are greatly overestimating the launch of Google Wave on the value of the company. No one product would double the value of a company, especially when the stock is already valued at ~$500.

Google Wave does seem like a great collaboration tool, I don't think it can double the price. I think it looks great, but I've never used any other online collaboration tools, so I don't have much to compare it to. There could be other products out there that do similar tasks, but from Google's presentation they are acting as though it's completely revolutionary. I could definitely see it's usefulness in my job, but I doubt my company would ever use something like this, especially with the sensitive nature of our information.

Anyone with more experience with this type of thing have any opinions on it?

Well, I got my invite, thanks a lot for it...but it seems to be called google wave preview.... I don't get it, it's very hard to navigate the site, and I'm having trouble to even see how I invite another person.

I think I'm getting too old...;D
Any help will be appreciated....
