AFAIK, they're completely pointless now though, given that Google Mail is no longer in Beta, and has been opened up to anyone - no invite required.

Well precisely..I think that Google Wave invites will probably end up the same..;)

we can invite each other so all of us will have wave :>, i think you get 5 invites per account

I've seen several sites say you get 8, so we all could get 1 if we share on this site.

Im up for that assuming I get one :)

So do we need a Google account for the invite or would it just go to our email? Cause I wouldn't mind having an invite...

Probably, although it took almost three years before Google Mail was opened up to the public & no longer required an invite ;)

Me too.

I don't think anyone who applied recently has much chance of getting an invite from Google any time soon though :(

Wave was announce back in May, so there's going to be a rather large backlog of invite requests for Google to get through...

You just need a email address for the invite to be sent to.

I would assume, though, that if you do get an invite & do not already have a Google Account, the act of signing up for Wave would also at the same time create a Google Account.

Yep there is a massive backlog of requests. Looks like patience will have to play a part here :( Noooooooooo!

Patience i do not have! :( lol

Woooo I got me Invite this morning. Kind of useless at the moment though since I know no one else with one.

Would appear that someone has been kind enough to offer me an invite, once that's sorted out I'll see how many invites I'm allowed then I'll start dishing them out on the understanding that anyone who gets one from me offers some of theirs to other CF users.

Obviously I have no way of checking but on your own conscience be it...

I'll share mine with CF too when i eventually have 1. I think you get about 8 invites.

Of course.That's how we did the Gmail invites.:)

I am inviting in order of the posting in the topic. I think others should do the same? Seems the fairest way. Remember the invites do not get sent right away.

seems fair to me. thats how i intend to share any invites if or when i'm in a position to do so.

Did we also have a rule everyone must be a member for 6 months and have 100+ posts?
