I wrote a post on my blog about Google Wave. I have some things I'm going to save for another day, also some videos coming shortly with more information and examples of features in use.

Anyway, check it out here; Surfing Google Wave.

Nice review (Y) Definitely one the better reviews of Google Wave I've seen. I hope Google can increase the invites soon though, as it appears they've stopped invites now, http://www.google.com/support/wave/bin/ans...p;answer=162237

Thank you! You're quite right, the system is sometimes unstable and it makes sense to wait until they are sure they can handle the amount of nominations they are bound to get.

Yea, I'm rather mad at Google because I applied several times both as a user and a developer and received no reply whatsoever. I wonder what's keeping them back from letting everyone at it? It certainly wouldn't crash their servers...

I was nominated as a developer by a friend. Even then my invite took over four days to get to me. You'd actually be surprised at how easy it would be to crash their servers using Wave.

Think about it, it's all real time; 100,000 first wave invites get sent and used. They each get 8 invites on average, 100,000 * 8 = 800,000~ real time requests, of course not all at once, but a good majority of them will be requesting to see other wave members current text.

I was talking to one friend of mine on Wave and we had several "blackouts" where our waves couldn't be synced to the server - we were affected by other members!

Interesting read. I'd be interested in seeing how you get along with creating that robot and how you go about it as I have a few things I want to do in Wave as well. Kinda annoying that so many people want an invite who aren't going to even really use it, whereas I'm sure there's plenty of people out there (like me) who want to try and develop something for it but can't get access!

I'm going to be using Python to create my robot, replace URLs with the requested URL POSTed to the API page :)

I know, it really does suck, I felt like that before I got mine.

      I hate Slack, but Teams is much worse - maybe they've already optimized it, but it was a huge slog the last time I've checked about half a year ago. I miss my Skype.
