And when those same bitches were coming on to me before the break-up, I told them to fuck off and that bros come before hoes. I got your guys’ backs, I just would like to know if you guys got mine. A Google Wave invite will do the trick. 🙂 ---

I would like an invite, please. I had a dev account a few months ago, while I was building a Google Wave robot prototype for a company, but don’t have access to the account anymore. ---

I can nominate two people (it’s not direct invites, takes a while to get it) Loune and Picker did you get them from sangwich? ---

Hope this won’t come across sounding totally ignorant but aren’t you meant to PM me (that’s what it’s called, right?) your emails so I can send the invites? I’ll send them to the first four email addresses I receive. In case you were wondering, I got the invites courtesy of working for Google. ---

I’ve nominated ColdPhoenix, Gukumatz, TellMeI’mNotCrazy, Declan, willthekittensurvive? and DiosaBellissima for invites. As Juggler said, it’s not direct invites (lots of envelopes to lick 🙂 ) but you should be getting your invites soon. > [@willthekittensurvive](#): > > _sends pm_ > > so what are your impressions of google wave? does it live up to the hype? I love it–and I’m not just saying that because of where I work. Depending on what wave you are on though, the signal-to-noise ratio might be a bit too low for some people. ---

Drat, I missed Sangwich’s offer (stupid work keeping me away from the internet). Um, if any of you have invites to spread around when this is all done could I have one thrown my way? Unless Juggler’s offer is still open (though I suspect it is filled as well). ---

I nominated Loune, waiting for a reply from Picker. Will work my way down the list if people already got nominations elsewhere.
