I've not had any handed out yet. To be honest i don't see anything great about WAVE so probably won't use it, but maybe it'll do something interesting 1 day! :)

I'm glad its not just me. I've had my Wave account for a week now and still won't let me give out invites yet.

I'm wondering if the invites are connected to how much you use Google Wave as well.:erm:

Re: Google Wave
 
According to the wave email I just got from Google I have 19 invites? Wonder if it will let me use them lol

Re: Google Wave
 
- Does anyone in Russ' first post now have a Wave account & need removing from the list?

- Does anyone who still needs an invite need to be added to the list in Russ' first post?



My invites have now come through, so I'll have some to share once I know who needs them.

If you'd like an invite, let me know and I'll add you to the list. The requirements are simply that you've been a member of CF for 6 months or more and have a post count of 100+.


50420
Deathtrap3000
Graham M
Maggy J
cimt
Acathla
xpod
mr_moo
Sirus
Zing
Paul
Hiroki
gazzae

Once you've recieved your invite please let me know and I'll remove you from the list don't forget it will be common courtesy to offer your invites to others on the list.

edit - posted by Russ - the forum is doing that strange thing again...

Could I be added to the list please?

joglynne 26-10-2009 15:17

Re: Google Wave
 
No invites in my email yet to dish out.

Tezcatlipoca 26-10-2009 20:06

Re: Google Wave
 
OK, so it appears that the current list should be:
  • 50420
  • Deathtrap3000
  • Graham M
  • Maggy J
  • cimt
  • Acathla
  • xpod
  • mr_moo
  • Sirius
  • Zing
  • Hiroki
  • gazzae
  • Thomas T
  • joglynne
  • chrisjones
  • grandmaster

mikegreen also wants an invite, but does not yet meet the criteria. Unless someone is kind? ;)

If anyone on the list has already received an invite (or is waiting for one to come through at their end), then please say so so that you can be removed from the request list!

---------- Post added at 19:06 ---------- Previous post was at 18:55 ----------

OK, I have just offered invites to:
  • 50420
  • Maggy J
  • Thomas T
  • joglynne
  • chrisjones

They were chosen based on being "people who had asked before, & then asked again when I bumped the thread". This is as I don't know how up to date the list is & I did not want to offer invites to people who may have since already been invited.

joglynne 26-10-2009 20:44

Re: Google Wave
 
Thanks for the invite Matt. :tu: Hopefully I will be able to donate some invitations back to the forum before too long.

Graham M 26-10-2009 20:44

Re: Google Wave
 
Yep im still waiting for one just to confirm :)

Damien 26-10-2009 21:28

Re: Google Wave
 
I think mikegreen should be on the list? The idea behind the limits is too avoid people signing up for the sake of invites and spamming the board. Mikegreen has been here a while and simply has not made 100 posts?

LSainsbury 26-10-2009 21:58

Re: Google Wave
 
Can I be added to the list as well please??!!

Tezcatlipoca 26-10-2009 22:12

Re: Google Wave
 
Damien - I think you have a point. I'll add mikegreen to the list.

Lee - Hmm... Oh, OK then ;)

The current list:

  • cimt

Re: Google Wave
 
Any chance I could be added to the waiting list? I'm waiting for my Wave invites, I'll share as soon as I have them.

I've been sent a Google Voice invite, but that seems to be a waste of time as it's US only.

50420 27-10-2009 14:38

Re: Google Wave
 
thank you to Matt D for the pm.

not recieved the invite yet but seeing as the invite has been sent from a trusted source...feel free to remove my name from the list.

Re: Google Wave
 
My invite has come through to-day. As soon as I can give out invites I will feed some into the forum members.

Maggy 30-10-2009 13:47

Re: Google Wave
 
My Invite has arrived. Cheers Matt...:)

As soon as my ability to issue invites arrives I will be sending them out.:)

So I should be removed from the list.

---------- Post added at 12:47 ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 ----------

So it's an email app.
It's a chat app
it's a group chat ap.
It's a way to tie up lots of aspects of google together..could be useful for giving directions in emails seeing as Google maps are nicely included.

I shall have to play and at least I already have some contacts..:)

50420 30-10-2009 13:52

Re: Google Wave
 
mine's come through too, will pm individuals as per the list as soon as i have invites available to pass around. cheers matt D for the invite

* mr_moo
* Hiroki
* gazzae
* grandmaster
* mikegreen
* LSainsbury
* Product 13

* PM's sent to all 7. If I'm not online when you respond I promise I'll get the invites out asap.

Damien sent mine at 14:41 yesterday (Saturday).
It arrived in my Gmail inbox at 22:49 so about 8 hours.

I then got 20 invites in my Wave inbox at 2:47am this morning (4 hours after joining!).

Thank you for the invite Acathla. Could a mod please remove me from the list. I'll be sending invites out as soon as I have some.

Re: Google Wave
 
Told Google to send the invites out to all that PM'd me except for mr_moo who I haven't heard from yet. If he hasn't responded by tomorrow around lunch probably best to stick him back on the list.

Hope they come through soon for you as it seems some are taking longer than others.

I'm quite active in my Google Mail account and have an Android phone linked to it so maybe Google sent mine early because I'm like their beeatch?

I only just realized that Google Wave must have pulled my real name & details from my Gmail account settings but i`ve managed to change it over to xpod ok.

Acathla 03-11-2009 12:01

Re: Google Wave
 
Can I ask anyone who has had a 'nomination' sent to be patient. We have no idea how and when Google send you the invites out and have no control over them (oh how I wish I had!).

You can rest assured that if it was sent from me, it was done correctly. It may take time, you just need to be patient. Remember its still in preview and Google won't be wanting millions of users on all at the same time.

I'm interested in an invite if there is one spare. I applied a while ago but did not hear anything from google, the swines :D

Got mine from Matt, thanks. Now I've just gotta work out what all the fuss is about ;)

It's been 3 weeks since i got my Wave account and still haven't been handed out any invites. Although i don't currently use Wave as it seems pointless, but i guess it may improve when i know what to do!

From what I've seen, you get a Wave which lets you send invites.

You get a wave like:

Invite others to Google Wave

Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.

Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.

Happy waving!

On a separate note, any of the nominations/invites I sent come through yet?
