HN: share your unneeded Google Wave invites

This post may be premature. If that is the case, I will atone for my mistake by collecting the email addresses from this thread and throwing up a simple invite sharing site for use later on.

</edit2>

<edit1>

from Google: “We’ll ask some of these early users to nominate people they know also to receive early invitations — Google Wave is a lot more useful if your friends, family and colleagues have it too. This, of course, will just be the beginning. If all goes well we will soon be inviting many more to try out Google Wave.”

for more information read http://mashable.com/2009/09/29/google-wave-invites-2/

</edit1>

Requesters:

Leave a note and your email address (you can protect it from bots with reCAPTCHA mailhide http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/)

Share the love after you get your invite

Donors:

To prevent waste, leave a reply to a requester's message before you dispatch the invite

Also: thanks for sharing




As far as I know people won't be able to invite others, so there is no invite to share. You'll only be able to recommend (8) friends, and they will have priority on the others.

BTW: I am in the developer preview but I haven't received the invite for the real thing. I asked to the others in the sandbox but it doesn't look like there's any invite being received so far.


According to google's official blog (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/surfs-up-wednesday-go...):

- They're sending 100.000 invites starting from today

- They'll ask some of the invited users to nominate others to also receive early invites

So they're probably not giving all of them away today, not everyone will get invites to share and if you do they won't be direct invites but nominations.


According to the Google Australia team, they won't be releasing the invites until tonight so that they will be up to handle the influx of users. http://twitter.com/twephanie

Also, here's my email, if the nominations/invites exist: johngunderman[at]gmail.com Thanks :)


I would like to have a recommendation as well even if it ends up being just that.

Thanks in advance!


Thanks for sharing this. There is definitely a good chance this thread is a lost cause.


It's like a HN version of the recent Reddit exploit...


Thanks in advance [my_Hnews_Username at gmail.com]


Invites are coming later in the day according to Stephanie Hannon (Google Wave team member): http://twitter.com/twephanie/status/4497929072


Hi, I posted this notice, but can no longer edit it.

Join http://groups.google.com/group/hn-google-wave-invite-pool instead of posting your address here. Hopefully, when the invites come out we can help each other out.

As of 5:41 eastern 9/30, I am no longer manually adding posted email addresses to that group.


Great idea - now to just resubmit it as its own topic so it hits critical mass.


153 comments and counting. I don't know who will find my comment in the mix of all this, but here's hoping:

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01pgWlnMQ_EuvMDzAzg5Nugw==...


Me too please. I've been itching to get my hands on this. http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01Nqt2EebxBs9XkUbznZL-hg==...



I will state here-forth that I am prepared to perform such deeds, to go lower than man has ever gone, to plunge the depths of degradation just in order to gain an early invite to Google Wave.

Thank-you.

If anyone can be bothered. Annoyingly I actually got the email invite for the dev sandbox a while back, but the form to actually request the account didn't seem to work for me.


If there are extra invites, I would greatly appreciate one (I'm a college student working on a project potentially involving XMPP, and looking to learn from Wave).

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01q2Qx4F1Uk-PTYnqW6045VA==...

Thank you.


I'm curious as to what everyone in seeing when the navigate to wave.google.com and if that can be used to discover if you're going to get an invite or not?

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01xnYxa2iPvWZs0eXsPG5SUQ==...


I don't know if invites can actually be shared or not, but I'll throw my name in the hat anyway. I'd appreciate an invite if they are available.

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01VHRbMMeWDR6WDuL6KbymkA==...


When invites are available, perhaps something similar to the GMail Invite Spooler (http://isnoop.net/gmail/ ) could be created?

It would certainly beat the inevitable mass-posting of email addresses in comment forms (and worse, there's no way to be sure when someone has received an invite)


http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01XMXWVYcIVDMbM1xACCRC4A==...

I'll share the love with whoever wants! Also, I want to write some plugins and extensions, to learn about xmpp + Wave + python.

Once again, thanks.


I would love an invite, and be sure to share it with my friends and the rest of the internet! dunahttp://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01ooqQAT1f2IamH7Hs5yGGCA==...


I'm very interested in Google Wave and I'd like to test it. Thanks in advance for sending me an invitation! http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01DoMyGjsADac31NPnaspbSA==...


Well, it's worth a shot. I remember signing up early so if I get any invites, I'll also share. Here's my email just in case:

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=010kmQWkKGsgy5SBuVEvHsqg==...


I'm not sure if this submission is in the spirit of Hacker News, but nevertheless I'd really like an invite, so here goes:

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01PzI8MSz8-zPdE-0Us9sNWQ==...

Thanks in advance!


Thanks in advance,

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01aP2MvWIvDQ4OpkxqTDLENw==...

On a sidenote: I think you should reply to your original comment once you have one so there isn't duplicates.


Great idea. thank-you! Will "share the love" after receiving. http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=017SVVsVRfJMC1XmE9Td3T0g==...


I'd also like an invite. If anyone has gotten one through the HN community, please pass along the invites.

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01KGNgbDpPbB2bWjFN4IRSww==...

Thanks!


Yeah, why not. Been wanting to test it since their first demo. http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=011dsUrNgCue-RGivTU55OZw==... Thanks!



I guess I'll join the mob. http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01C6wkdGXr0QIN4uwHnJX4Zg==... Thanks to those that are willing to share.


I don't know if invites can actually be shared, but I'd appreciate one if so. Thanks!

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01G5M5dvqqt--v6P30IQKjSQ==...


Please send an invite.

See http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01NL3VPhKzy6IujMa32g4rcg==... to view my Email address (trying to stop spambots)


Wow, great idea. If anyone has an invite left please feel free to donate me one ;)

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01KZDHeZNxby0WEZAQk9oxcQ==...


If one is still kicking around, I'd very much appreciate one. http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01Hp4wieGTMjXdISPjc-ukZw==...


Thanks, falsestprophet, for explicitly saying what I was implicitly thinking.

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01R2S9METXMkPmcyWSSDjdvA==...


Here is my email within mailhide, please send me a invite to GoogleWave as well.

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=014s-aMx2vlpytIAIucX9SyQ==...

Cheers, Bobby


If you get this far down the list then I'd love an invite! http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01V37yrpy3chd_pTAtE2rghA==...

It would be very appreciated!


Wow, you guys are awesome. Here's my email to append to the queue!

Thanks so much. Can't wait to check it out!


I'd love to be recommended, promise to share with others and to help out Wave by reporting bugs and possibly doing some extension development. Appreciate your help! http://scr.im/3fl



I would much appreciate an invite. http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01kgqabHahLbbIkUhvBUa6Rg==...

Many thanks!

















































Got one, never mind.











I'm running a small business with several developers, and we all use Gmail right now to communicate. I really think Google Wave can really help us out. Thanks in advance! scoota@gmail.com




This is nice, and I hope I get one, even though I seem to be pretty late here: http://scr.im/shrik is my email address.



I don't think I'd want to deal with these idiotic "capcha emails" if I had a quick 10 seconds to share an invite. Post your address into profile, people.


My girlfriend is a web developer and we've been trying to snag an invite so she can play around with it. Thank you in advance

jakevoytko@gmail.com


i suppose that i'll throw mine in here if people are generous enough to be passing them out. likewise, if i get an invite, i'll share anything i get.

http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01pA_uG1ERFEljd1T0V7suJA==...


I'll jump on this bandwagon! Thanks to you if you send me one! (If you're in San Diego, I'll buy you a beer)

andy at andyleclair dot com


daviddjf at gmail Also, it's not invites like it was with gmail. All they can do is recommend for invitation.


please, please, please, let me get what I want, lord knows, it would be the first time: http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=01Qm9KrtqdBi8o5MNXJpuO1w==...


Wow, that's a lot of people who want invites but I might as well add my name to the list. Email in profile.


Have there been any invites sent out from HN so far - I've yet to see any replies indicating they have


To atone, instead of throwing up an invite sharing site, you should be forced to write an iphone app.



Well, if there actually are "unneeded" invites floating around, I'd like one as well :)

Mail in my profile.


Hey why not. I'm a technical advisor for a recently created non-profit development group, and we could really use Wave to help us collaborate.

great idea, and thanks to anyone willing to share!
