I have a wave account, but I can't do anything with it because my wave invitee is never online.....And I have no other friends on wave.....

Google Wave is the new buzz of the year. Its very frustrating to wait for it. I wasn't able to get an invitation despite all my efforts.

So the people who are "nominated", don't have the power to invite a FURTHER eight more of their friends? That's very not-good.

Out of my 364 Google contacts (many of them early adopters and tech-savvy people), only five are now on Google Wave.

My guess is that the secret to getting early Google invites is probably to use lots of their services: GMail, Analytics, Webmaster tools, AdSense, Docs, Library, Picasa, Reader, YouTube, Knol, etc.

I got an invitation today, but it didn't say that it had come from anyone in particular.

I sent out my invites to some fellow long-time GMail users, but none of them have been granted access to Wave yet.

it's been four days since I've been invited (or nominated) by one of my friends. Still I don't have luck :(

I don't think any of mine have got in yet either, but if you've seen inside wave, you've not only seen how much potential it has but also how much work the Google team needs to do on wave before it's ready for prime-time.

They are scaling up, but very gradually.

Still no mail! Gaaah! Why even tease us with the possibility to be able to get in and use Wave, when they then choose to be this slow with sending out the invites?
A bit like blizzard, you could sign up for the Starcraft2 beta almost 6 months ago, and no beta yet :P

Roger, your link was bad, here I'm fixing it for you http://www.bloggingthewave.com./

You can run the search ' with:public ' to see a listing of public waves you can participate in :)

I was lucky enough to be one of the original 100K. Unfortunately, I have nobody to Wave with. None of my nominations have received their invitations. And, I do not know of a way to search for people who already have accounts.

BTW, my daughters and I have started a blog to track our experiences using Wave. One daughter is a college junior and the other is a recent PhD. So, between the three of us, we should get some great views. The blog is http://www.bloggingthewave.com.

Personally I think it sucks that people who were "nominated" this week got invites before people who initially signed up for an invitation in May. I've been in anticipation of this product since the morning of the announcement, and I have to live on every youtube clip to get my fix. Shame.

I agree with Hitler - http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Of course the other side of this is that it keeps the excitement up. I remember when I first started sending gmail invites out most people had no clue what gmail was. This release is of a different order.

I'm not sure... As it is now Google is trickling the 'nominees' in, as Anthony Baxter said above, they scale up gradually.

Ahh, now I get it. Thanks!

I've also been "nominated." So, when do you think I will get my invite? It got sent on Oct. 1 around 1 PM Vancouver / Los Angeles time.

Thanks Jesse. I was thinking the same thing today. I've been waiting two days for an invite/nomination to come from Steven Cains on friendfeed. He was nice enough to share this with me. I think he could sense my frustration level was rising. I guess I'll just have to be patient a little longer.
