Google Wave how do you find it?
 
Well I've studied the tutorial videos and I'm pondering just how I can use this..I can see it as being a rather intense messenger type application with the ability to add all sorts of new ideas..like maps.I can see it might be rather good for conferencing and for letting a group work out activities together.

However I cannot see much beyond this..and it's really irritating me that I cannot really use it with people that I could really share things like photos and such when I cannot invite them to join Wave.

Not that I don't want to share with some of you..;)

So has anyone else really got to grips with this app yet?

Once it's fully integrated into the google system you may well find you can do more with it, I host images on the picasa system so the ability to share them using wave would be interesting but at the moment it's still Beta, behaves like a beta now and then but overall has some interesting abilities.

Indeed I am waiting to be able to invite people.

I have used it a bit though, setting up meetings and things is good with the map thing and the ability to add pictures in etc.

It definately has potential.

I've been wandering about on the public waves and found a couple that I shall keep an eye on. Other than that I haven't been overly inspired to spend much time on Google wave. Once I have a few more family and friends on there I will possibly use it more and look forward to having a family wave.

I originally opened my account? on 30/10 but still haven't had any invitations to dish out. :(

I agree but if you cannot invite folk it rather defeats any purpose..:(

You can't invite people YET... It is still in early testing. That will come with more time. When gmail started that took a while too.

I just hope it picks up quite soon.

It doesn't work properly in version 10.10 of Opera. I don't know about the other versions though. Other than that I like the look of it and once it's out of beta it should be fine.
