I recently received my invite to try out Google Wave – the new social media sharing application that Google has been advertising for quite some time. Needless to say, I was quite excited to give it a spin.
As I loaded it up and took a look at it, I noticed something real quick. It was almost as if I was starting with Twitter all over again – I was in a huge empty room. As with most social apps, if you don’t have friends in your circle who are using the same thing, things can get lonely fast.
I navigated away and came back to it a few days later and saw a few posts sent to me by the Google Wave team. They had given me 8 invites to send out to friends to try it out as well. I sent most of them this evening and hopefully someone tries this with me – otherwise it’s going to remain one big empty room.
Have you tried Google Wave yet? And if your friends aren’t on it yet with you, have you found any uses for it for yourself?
