Set you up, it may take up to a week according to the little message.

I’ll update the wishlist later if nobody else has.

Thanks, **Loune**!

I got an invite this morning (yay!!!), I think from Google? As soon as I know how many of my RL friends want one, I’ll pass out what’s left here. Can someone add me to the SDMB wave? (username otsana)

I’ve finally been bitten by this bug. Are there any more of these invites out there? I’d really like to get one too. Should I PM someone? Or can someone PM me? What’s the protocol? Thanks in advance.

My email is the same as my username At The Gee Mail.

Isn’t it @googlewave.com? Anyway I do seem to have such an address now, and I thought that was the one to use for inviting to a wave.

I just got mine, so I can be removed from the list.

Also, I’m at [drainbead@gmail.com](mailto:drainbead@gmail.com) if anyone is interested in adding me. I am trying to figure this whole thing out right now.

Once **Nava** (or anybody) updates the wishlist, I’ll throw some invites/nominations out there. I can spare at least 5, likely more.

I too am still interested, but I think I’m pretty far down the list, although I’ll keep checking this thread.

I requested an account a few weeks ago, and just got my Google invite. I’ve got a handful of invites left, so PM me if you need one.

If there’s a SDMB wave, can someone add me to it?

Didn’t read the whole three pages, but yet _another_ social networking site?

I _already_ use Google as my blog, but I’m not really that much into social netting, so if this is something _different_ and could _benefit_ me, then pretend I’m a 5-year old and start me off?

Thanks!
