UPDATE: Google Wave Now Open For All!
Thus: Invitations aren’t needed anymore; log in and feel great :)

UPDATE: 13 left.

UPDATE: It seems like everyone who is already registered at Google Wave gets eight more invitations to give away. Therefore I’ve got a total of 14 invitations for you guys.

A few weeks ago I got an invitation to Google Wave. Now that I’ve shared most of my invitations I thought “do something noble!”. There are 9 invitations left.

I don’t like quizzes and the like, therefore I’ll do it quick and easy: The first nine visitors which find this article and comment to it will recieve an invitation. Of course I need an eMail adress, otherwise I won’t be able to invote you. You need to create a Google account in order to use Google Wave, either after being invited or prior to that.

Google recommends these browser: Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 3.5, Safari 4 und Google Chrome.

Just kidding, of course the IE isn’t able to handle Wave, neither 6 nor 7 nor 8, only the other three browsers are recommended by Google. Opera (10.01) has some problems displaying Wave. I for one recommend using Iron, the none-Google version of Chrome. Why? Because of the fast JavaScript Engine and because of the none-Google. Seriously, I myself installed Iron, Firefox just isn’t that fast, at least when it comes to executing JS. Probably a fast PC helps out, I don’t know because of the lack of the latter.

But when chatting over Wave with an appropriate performance you can see the others typing, which I didn’t believe at first. Just a little advice: Google Wave is in preview status, this means it breaks sometimes, lags a little, etc.

Now let the games begin!
