I have 12 invites to give out, too. Send me a DM and I'll send you an invite.

Well, Google bought EtherPad a couple days ago. I'm guessing they're going to use its technology to improve Wave...
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

A friend of mine just sent me a Google Wave invite yesterday, sort of unexpectedly. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with it, though. I'll check it out, but my internet use is quite different from hers (she's a 21 year old college student; I'm a thirtysomething professional with less time to spend online).

I've certainly not been able to explain what it is to people, though.

I have 23 invites... google wave is pretty much useless until you have a few friends using it.

I'd like to know what other people are using G Wave for.

I also have 20+ invites if anyone wants any.

Like everyone else, I have not found a use for this yet. I used it on a project with a team creating a business plan, but it was used exactly like email would have been, so it provided no benefit (and it's worse than email since the attachments and messages are not downloaded to your machine for off-site viewing). I already have to check email, IM (MSN, ICQ, Y!), Skype, and forums, and now they want me to check yet another thing? Nope, not for me. No compelling reason to use it yet.
