Here Comes Google Wave’s Preview
Posted by scoop on September 30th, 2009 in Professional Blogging |
Tomorrow’s THE day when Google Wave will be landing and sweeping more people off their feet, unfortunately not everyone will still have access to the Wave. Makes me think back to the days when a Gmail invite was still oh so precious and sold like pancakes online.
Google Wave team announced the preview to thousands of users yesterday morning. Here’s what they said…
“ Starting Wednesday, September 30 we’ll be sending out more than 100,000 invitations to preview Google Wave to:
*Developers who have been active in the developer preview we started back in June
*The first users who signed up and offered to give feedback on wave.google.com
*Select customers of Google Apps
We’ll ask some of these early users to nominate people they know also to receive early invitations — Google Wave is a lot more useful if your friends, family and colleagues have it too. This, of course, will just be the beginning. If all goes well we will soon be inviting many more to try out Google Wave.”
They also said that Google Wave is (of course) not fully ready yet and has lots of features that they still haven’t rolled out. I don’t know if it will already be possible to comment on blog posts via Google Wave but am pretty certain that collaboration on a post and posting via Google Wave is already possible since as they said “we [Google Wave team] collaborated on this very blog post with several colleagues in Google Wave.”
Now I just need to get an invite and start playing around.
