Google is launching Google Wave as real time communication and collaboration platform by this year end. It’s open source application and it has opened the sandbox for developer community. Google will launch 100,000 early adopters. I had so many questions about this product, and have my questions answered watching this video.
I would say that I was impressed with some of it’s features like playback, comments in the middle of conversation (did not get it what it means, it’s like selecting some text in email and add comment there itself instead of reply to whole email – like a review comments features in Microsoft word), also there would be real time message transmission in chats – so you would not see “Someone is typing..” kind of messages anymore.
After all this, one question unanswered and that is, how to get Google wave invite.
1. You are invited by someone currently using Wave: You remember when Gmail was launched, Google had distributed the invites to few people first and they could invite their friends after certain amount of time! For Google wave, similar invites would be there. So if I get the chance of being early adopter, I would have some invites to distribute to my friends, family, and blog readers. I can actually give them away as prizes 
2. Signup for a Google Wave account: Now, you can also be part of Google wave early adopters by signing up here. This would not guarantee you that you would get the Google wave invite, but your chances are more than the people who don’t sign up for that.
I hope I get invited into so I can try Google Wave. Thanks Greg Ellison
