Got My Google Wave Invite Today!


I haven't personally been able to check out a whole lot about it, but you know me, I'm all for trying out something new. Especially when I have heard claims that it will "change email forever" and change the way we communicate online. So I applied for an invite a couple months ago and this morning I got an email inviting me to use it. Check it out: About Google Wave

I'm currently using Internet Explorer 8 and when I accessed the Wave site I was prompted that I had to install the Google Chrome Frame. I could either install the frame or use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari instead. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but I'm using Windows 7 and the added functionality of IE with W7 (tab previews) is enough reason to use it over the others. So I tried to run the installer and it failed, I'm assuming it's because of my firewall at work so I'll just have to use Chrome instead.

Finally got signed in and this is what it looks like:

At this moment I have no idea what to do with it, and I'm assuming that will change once I have more contacts using it as well. So for now, I'm just going to play around a little and read up on the Google Wave website.

It says I have 6 invites. First come first served my friends, it says that the invites are not instant, but email me if you're interested and I might could hook it up!
