Anyone else on Google Wave?

16 pointsby jgrahamc17 anni fa37 comments

I have a Google Wave account but the only person I know who also has an account is currently on holiday. Are there any other HNers who want to try out 'waving' with me?

BTW I do not have any invites. I wanted to get one for my SO so that we can wave together, but no response yet from the wave team. I did manage to figure out Stephen Fry's wave handle and have a little chat with him which was fun. But I can't go around just bothering celebrities so that I can beta test it.

As the instant after the Big Bang the Waveverse is pretty small. Or so it seems ...

Try this. Go to the search bar, if you're currently viewing your inbox it has "in:inbox", remove that and search "with:public". You are now amidst the maelstrom of hyperinflation of the birthing Googleverse.

if you search for "with:public yc" you'll find a wave with fellow ycers and yours truly

I am inviting anyone who posts a wave username from HN to a wave we created back when the first round went out.

For people without an invite (me included) I found this. I hope it helps chances:

  ''.join(('dan.', username[:-1], 'n', '@googlewave.com'))

Upvoted just for the slick obfuscation.

rookie17 anni fa

found you, was unsure of the username[:-1] though.

callahad17 anni fa

Sorry, I probably could've been a bit more clear:

  python -c "username = 'callahad'; print(''.join(('dan.', username[:-1], 'n', '@googlewave.com')))"

But that starts bordering on being too verbose for my own amusement. And it requires semi-colons. In Python. Ick.

You can take a look at the public waves by typing with:public next to the "New Wave" button. There's way too much going on for me to find it useful.

It's like looking at the public timeline on twitter.

I don't have an account. But I understand that there are public waves that you can experiment with.

A friend of mine send me an invite about 3 or 4 days ago, it hasn't arrived yet. Is that normal?

src17 anni fa

yes, i believe its a nomination program and then google sends out invites randomly

search your inbox using with:public and you should find lots of public waves to view, comment in, etc.
