Today, 30th September 2009, marks the launch of Google Wave.....lets not get too excited coz not everyone would be lucky enough to get their hands on Wave. Google has decided to go back the Gmail way of offering access through invites. Wave is a stunning product offering a combination of email, instant messaging, and many other collaborative features.
So how does one get access to Wave?
1. You signed up early for a Google Wave account : Anyone who visited http://wave.google.com and was among the first few to sign up to use Wave may end up getting an invite.
2. You have an account on the Developer Preview of Wave : For the developers, Sandbox version of Google Wave has been active for several months allowing them to test Wave, report bugs, and build Wave APIs. They will all get Wave accounts.
3. Paid users of Google Apps : Some schools and companies using paid version of Google Apps may get an invite to use Wave.
4. You are invited by someone using Wave : Google has gone the Gmail way of allowing users having access to Gmail account to invite friends and family to use Wave. Though the exact number of permissible invites per account is not revealed yet.
