Not waving but drowning.
Saturday, 14 November 2009 10:26 pmGoogle Wave is so frustrating. Mostly, because they aren't feeding invites fast enough.
Andy and I really only seem to have each other to talk to on it at the minute, which - while I love the guy - is kind of weird and doesn't give us much chance because he's in the US and I'm in the UK. If I wasn't working and was still living more or less on Chicago time, this wouldn't be so big of a problem, I guess, but I'm working and need sleep, which means he sends me stuff and I'm not there to answer it and vice versa.
It would be the same with most people, I'm sure, but the lack of variety means you get virtually no chance to develop it.
I got my invite from a friend of Julie's - the very generous![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
smuffster - but Julie's own invite hasn't come in, yet. (Correction: it literally just arrived!)
It's really hard to establish a working understanding of a program based on interaction when you have a limited number of people to interact with. I'm waiting for an invite to give toashe_frost so that we can take over the world and for supercasio so we can be randomly awesome and talk about forcefeeding In 'n' Out to Patrick. We are TPP. Totally pro-paunch. There is no tummy like a squishy tummy.
But yeah. Unless usership increases pretty soon, I can see Wave sinking. There are no tangible benefits right now. It basically merges email and chat and that's all it really seems to be.
