Google Wave to open its doors
From tomorrow, Google will be opening the doors of Wave; Google’s new communication & collaboration platform, to more than 100,000 lucky testers.
The preview invites will be sent to the following:
- Developers who have been active in the developer preview we started back in June
- The first users who signed up and offered to give feedback on wave.google.com
- Select customers of Google Apps
To springboard the testing, Google is asking each of the invitees to nominate people to also receive early invites, with the promise that they will (soon) open the doors to more users, once the platform is stable. Google is quick to point out that this constitutes a ‘Preview’ of Wave, and that the platform is not yet ready for production use.
From previous experience, early Google product previews tend to be relatively stable, and if the live demo of Wave back in May was anything to go by, then we’re in for a real treat. We could indeed be looking at the shape of things to come.
For more information on the upcoming Wave preview, please check out the Original Google-Blog post.
Bootnote: If anyone can get me an invite to Wave, please drop me a message using the Contact page.
