- Google Wave
I received my supply of invites for Google Wave recently. Its been almost one month since I am using Wave but did not have he capacity to invite others. Today, Google bestowed in me the power to invite 8 people 15 people to Google Wave.
For those, unfamiliar with the term, Google Wave is a kind of collaboration tool which works in realtime. What this means is that you can see your friends type each alphabet as and when they type.
I like to call it :
Demise of the Backspace Key
Its a plus point and a negative point also. Imagine, typing something which gets viewed the same instant as you punch in the keys!
Google Wave is still in development phase and it would not be fair to jump to conclusions so soon. To draw an analogy “Who knew twitter could be such a rage?” Let’s wait and watch how Wave matures with time.
For readers of ProgrammingKid, I would be giving away Google Wave invites!
How to get Google Wave Invite?
Each participant stands a chance to win a invite to Google Wave on a first-come-first-serve basis. All you have to do is :
READ CAREFULLY…
- Subscribe to ProgrammingKid via Email [Do remember to confirm your subsciption]
- Tweet about this Post & follow us on Twitter
- Join us on Friend Connect
- Leave a comment confirming your entry after you are done with above 3 steps
How will I know if I won?
I will email the winners personally because Wave invites are not sent by Google immediately, it may take a day or two to arrive at your inbox. Google is overworked with wave invites so I’ll confirm the winners with the news till they receive the invite from Google. Just be sure to follow the above mentioned steps in totality.
How many invites are up for Grabs?
Originally, Google has granted us with the power to invite 8 people 15 people [got some additional invites] to Wave. As the invites are sent out, the number of available invites will keep reducing so hurry up!
Number of invites left : 11
All the best guys! See you on Wave.

It reaches you immediately.
Hi Nimit
Thanks for your feedback though I’d like to point you to the following screenshot of my Google Wave wherein I can invite others : http://is.gd/4X6sm
As you will see, Google DOES say that invites are not sent immediately. Hoping you would be well informed in future before commenting and ridiculing facts not known by you.
All those who happened on this page looking googling for my name, please go back, this is an inside joke. Thank you very much.

Mr. Vaibhav Kanwal, I have completed all the aforementioned tasks. Want to commend your technical expertise and the manner in which you are dissipating the convoluted concepts of programming. Three Cheers!
(P.S. I don’t want the Google invite. Since it is worth a few pounds, kindly auction it on EBay consider it as a benevolent gesture from a genuine fan!)
Congrats Nakul! You’r in the league. I like to keep it super simple [KISS] unlike some arbitrary ramblings some people have this funny habit of making.
