5 Google Wave Invites – Round 2

I’m giving away 5 Google Wave preview invites. In order to enter, just leave a comment after this post. I will select winners from 5 random comment authors and the winners will have an invite sent from me to the email address provided in their comment.

For those of you who don’t know what Google Wave is, it is “a personal communication and collaboration tool” which integrates social networking, email, wikis, and instant messaging. I’ve used it for a little bit, and although there is a bit of a learning curve involved, it has been quite an enjoyable experience. Third party clients are popping up, most notably Waveboard for the Mac. While I don’t think that Waves are going to replace email altogether, it is definitely worth taking a look.

I’ll let comments collect until 1600 (GMT) on November 30th, 2009 at which point I will begin randomly picking the winners. Good luck!

***EDIT***

Well, since only 2 people commented, they’ll both get invites. Congratulations to Deb and Eduardo. Your invites are on their way.

Congratulations, I’ll send your invites off right away. Remember, you won’t get them immediately, as Google’s invite process seems to take a while. To quote directly from the invite wave, “Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.”

Also, stay tuned for more invitation giveaway contests. We should be having another one within a few days.
