I've got 3 wave invites, and 2 voice invites right now.  Will give slight priority to members here who contribute to the community as a thanks, but beyond that first come first serve.  Send a pm to me with an email address you would like sent to and if you want wave and/or voice.

I currently use voice only as a voicemail instead of verizons.  I didn't want to hand out a new number, so just using same number with google as my voicemail is nice so i can get txts of what voicemails were left, and check it online.  Helps when i have 0 service while i'm at work.  The transcriptions can be off a bit sometimes, but in a way it adds to amusement ;) Nice to get a good laugh, and it is still a work in progress.

Google wave is interesting, but quite buggy still.  Also missing a lot of features, and won't really be that cool until it really picks up as the new email (if it does).  I could easily see it going the way of the zip drive, cool idea, great for a short bit then quickly something much better invented that wins out.  Also google wave doesn't accept normal email any (at least not right now), so its somewhat a bummer you can't just set it up and start forwarding email over to it, and I don't really care to check 2 places for messages.

Hmmm... Could I leave a song? I sing really off key, and harsh.

Just kidding. PM works fine for me. I do not have a mic, so don't panic. Thanks for sharing your voicemail though.

Don't know if you got it.  These are products currently in invite-only beta that google makes. ;) Was wondering if anyone around here wanted to try them out as I have a few extra invites I havn't used.

Kind offer, thanks.

Not for me, I already have access to wave. It's kind of cool in my view, great for collaboration, but clearly in its baby shoes still. I agree with your assessment about it. As long as it won't push waves to email and web, and vice versa, it's usefulness is going to be limited. It has a lot of potential, though.

If you can PM me for wave, I'd like to see how that works out.
