Google Wave...A grass roots tool?

Ok, my account has been activated via an invite.

Thanks again Krippy!!

I'm thinking of maybe editing the OP to keep a list of people who are connected on google wave that are also members here.

In fact I wanted to do this earlier even if only for GMail/GTalk, but having Google Wave as an option makes the whole idea more appealing.

Hope this works; You will have to have aWave account though to access it:

totally works!!

and will have to check out how that "public wave" functionality works. I see its using appspot. I know future plans are for tight integration between "google wave bots" and app engine. I've had an appengine account since early this year.

Lot of potential in this thing if it makes it out of alpha stage anytime soon.
 
I twitter.
I have msn.
I have skype.
I have email.
I have a facebook account(linked to my twitter updates)
I just received my google wave account this morning. I think it is going to be huge, but right now, it SUCKS, for basically one reason. I can't wave with anyone. They're all sleeping while I'm awake in Korea. I have no documents to collaborate on with ANYONE. I have no blog. Twave won't update fast enough and I can't retweet. Tweetree.com works faster. For now, the darn thing is useless. And even IF my whole family and friends were to shockingly have WAVE accounts, NONE of them would use it to a large extent because even Facebook is an afterthought to them.

All your points are valid. I don't envision GWave to be a 'basic' tool. I see it as a replacement for people who use 'a lot' of basic tools. There is no need for the average RP supporter to use anything other than standard email imho.

Oh, by the way...

Got me some Google Wave invites today!!
 
I just got my invite last night, been going nuts on the wave. Just signed on to the RP wave. Already have a wave published on my Blogger, also have a wave on the NCFFA including text and updates.

CAN'T WAIT for waves to be generally visible to people without wave accounts, the biggest thing for me will be embedding these things into ordinary websites like blogs, campaign site, and Drupal.

Mind you, the idea of 'anybody on the planet' being able to edit an embedded wave one a campaign or a county GOP website is not so hot, so there certainly needs to be some moderation tools, like who can to what, if/where the public can reply etc.

Would like to simply be able to make the public "read only" on the wave and let them reply via standard Drupal/Blogger tools; while making "officers" able to update & edit....

But that I am sure, is in the works.

remember that Waves do not have to be public. matter of fact they are private as default unless you add the public address or robot.

That's why you institute wave hierarchies that build gradually toward the wave you're using that provides the content to your site. ;)

embeddy will give you the code, I managed to embed one into my blogger here, but for wordpress you have to serve your own (for now)

It's pretty straightforward for embedding into straight HTML. A little more work for a Drupal.

ETA: and no - I am not in the sandbox
 
Ok, so I got wave working with my blog and the thought occurred to me, where this is going to be bad assssssss, is in the comments sections. yeah, let me take care of that right now.
 
I now have 23 invites up from 16 last week. I'll probably only need 5 or 6 for my personal contacts, and the rest I can give away.
 
Hahaha! It's kinda funny watching all these new users just magically appear in my contacts list. 8-) They seem to come in clumps. err.. waves? (groan)

I intend to use g-wave to coordinate my State House campaign, so this will be...interesting...to say the least. Right now trying to decide who to give my remaining 6 invites out to according to who will be the biggest help in coordinating my campaign...

ETA: (otherwise I'd be GLAD to just hand them out to RPF'ers, promise!)
