Sorry, no. It is a recommendation for an invite (instead of a direct invite). I think it might even take a few weeks (although some people upthread seem to have gotten theirs sooner).

Oh, okay. I thought it was more like the gmail invites, from a few years back.

Out of curiosity, wouldn’t Wave itself be a good tool to manage the list of invitation haves-and-have-nots?
