Join The Public MakeUseOf Google Wave!

muowave1During the past few days, I have been trying to finally get the hang of Google Wave.   When it first came out, my initial response to it was the same one as when Twitter came out : “eh? what’s this all about then?!”   But after some playing about with it, I think I have finally got the hang of it.   I immediately asked the MakeUseOf staff to divert all non-urgent discussions to Wave instead of email and I am slowly beginning to see the advantages of the Wave system.

One of the areas where I see Wave helping us is in our continuing quest to be accessible to our readers.   We want you all to feel that you can get in touch anytime with any of the writers on any topic and recently we have made great strides in that area with our Facebook group.   But now, if you are so inclined, you can also chat to us (sometimes in “real time”) on the MakeUseOf Public Google Wave

Just come on over and have a chat to us about anything you like.   Do you have a comment (good or bad) to make about one of our articles?  Do you have a tech problem you would like to discuss with us?   Then come on over.

Since Google Wave is still in private beta, some of you may still be having problems getting access.   Well I have 20 invites that I am very happy to give away and the other MakeUseOf staff will surely have some too that they will be happy to donate.   So just leave a comment here and ask nicely for an invite and we’ll try and get one out to you as soon as possible.

Looking forward to seeing you on the Wave!

    A mere hourly, slobbery slave, a cautious knave, at the office I once unselfishly gave,
    But, then as now, of Make Use of I unconditionally rave.

    Soon to be tsunamied ‘neath Google’s Wave,
    I propose wiping the drool from all faces,
    Opening the cages of twittering tweets and mindless rampages,
    Facing down the books of faces, freeing the grasping minions of MySpaces,
    Conquering world hunger, knee-knocking fear, plus the hand writing on the wall,
    Then, submitting my beard to a much-needed shave,
    Clambering out from rock and cave
    I shall blink unwinkingly at the blinding sun, crowing eastward like an unfettered cock,
    So furiously renewed and refreshed, neatly pressed and redeemed, stood upright and brazen by the latest infusion of nanobots I crave,
    I consider the next present and fantasy of imagining to raise up and conquer,
    But first a brief repast, perhaps a light snack,
    May I enjoy Google Wave at last?

  • Snehal

    Hi,
    Since the first demo of wave, I saw on google video, I am interested it it. But some how could not manage to get it one. It will be very nice of you, If you can provide me one, to taste it.

  • ragundo

    I joined the wave and I can only see chaos. It’s like a chat transcript session, you begin at the origin and you get lost of all the convesations, replyes, bots, etc.
    The only use I see for this, appart from collaborative projects waves is as a better substitute for forums entries or blog comments, but always with very focused waves, not generic one like this one

    Merry Christmas

  • end.z
