Since its announcement Google Wave has been making waves in the IT industry and elsewhere. The communications platform for the next generation which was announced somewhere in May 2009 has some very advanced features for collaboration, communication and networking. Best of all it lets users work and share stuff in real time. A preview release was given to 100,000 users somewhere in September 2009. All others were asked to register for an invite. This scribe registered for an invite and verily it was received just a few days back.
Using the wave has been one good experience and I must say it is going to be the medium of choice for most if not all in the coming years. This is something new, innovative and far ahead of the rest of pack by leaps and bounds. Imagine having the facility to work in real time on projects, share thoughts, chat,collaborate and then view the entire communication in a timeline view as if reminiscing about it. One could go on and on writing about it, but unfortunately it would make little sense for most folks out there since the public at large is devoid of a Google Wave account. This sounds familiar doesn’t it? remember the time Orkut was released to the public albeit by invites only? The public went bonkers just waiting for an invite.
Ok now I have to break the suspense surrounding this post. We at BiggTech have decided to give away twenty, that’s right 20 invites of Google Wave to readers. All you have to do is send us an e-mail stating the reason why you want to use Google Wave, or why you want an invite. Let’s see the creative in you, the mails are to be sent at tips@biggtech.com with the words Google Wave Invite in the subject. Closing date is 25 th December 2009, hurry and get invited.
Users names along with their replies will be posted on the blog.
