Google Wave Invites

I have some. My own experience with it has been hilarious, but not in the way that I ever want to repeat, you know? I strongly recommend against using it for any actual business applications or anything even remotely confidential, like a secret exchange fanfic or something, until you understand how it works and what its limitations are. For example, one of its limitations is that you can add people to a wave with one single erroneous click of the mouse and then you can NEVER EVER REMOVE THEM. EVER. And that is how a complete stranger who emailed me once about a Delicious script I wrote is now privy to a long, tangled conversation between myself, [personal profile] catechism and [personal profile] afuna that happens to include a sizable chunk of [personal profile] catechism's NaNoWriMo novel. Because "At this time, it's not possible to remove participants from a wave. We're working to implement this feature." (From here.) So yeah. Just be aware of that tiny, inconsequential detail.

Any takers? Comment with your email address, or email my gmail account, verymurklins.

Oh my. Thanks for that warning! That seems like a feature Google could have implemented *before* giving out so many invites. Now I feel like I should be cautious, limit myself to discreet, Queen-of-England style waving.

if you still have invites, i'd like one, just to try. i'm geeky like that :) not being able to remove someone from a wave.... that seems like something you'd sort before open beta, right?
