Morning Discussion

The Steam deal on Mass Effect reminded me I should finally take it out of my stack of unplayed games and give it a whirl and, well, it's good. Very nice. So nice, in fact, that I started playing this morning then lost all track of time and now have to rush up a chatty.

Today is Friday. You might like that.

      You won't be able to play with it today :( Invites take a week or so to come through.

            I imagined as much, but I wanted to see what it was all about.

            Depends if you think it's supposed to be just like email. There's tons of ways it will be useful to me at work.

              Concept is good, the current performance is pretty bad.

                They released it far too early -- I get the feeling they just couldn't keep their trap shut about this cool new thing they have. You can tell there's quite a lot of development happening on it, I see features change sometimes weekly.

          They're not really invites. They're just 'suggestions' to Google about who they should invite next.

            Ah, okay... your definition makes sense, but why they do it that way does not.

              Presumably so they can expand the service in a controlled fashion, and add servers etc as more people come online.

                Then why would you give people 'invites' in the first place? Seems like putting the cart before the horse.

                  they don't give them "invites", they give them an "invitation to suggest who we should invite next"

                  Because then you get people spreading word about this cool, exclusive thing, and people begging for invies ;)

        well the idea is that you are going to replace email with wave

        You get 'em as a wave in your inbox. Mostly, people who have gotten invites form other people haven't gotten their own invites yet -- it's mainly those people who have been invited by Google that have invites.

      Is there any word on when the people who got invited into it by other people get their waves?
