Google Wave

:wavey: is the closest I can come to it. Haven't gotten one myself yet either.

 

You can always request and invitation from google

 

Well, I filled out the form. Wondering if I was profound enough to get in :tongue3:

 

Well, keep us posted Roger IF you get the magic invite!

 

I have a few I can hand out.. Whoever fills up the pm box the fastest with their email addy can have one. I think I have 6-8 and will gladly share them here free of charge (theres actually people selling them on ebay..sheeesh)

 

Correction.. I just checked.. I have sixteen.

 

Oh yeah, so I don't have to reply to all the PM's.
It takes 2-3 days for the invite to show up.

I have 13 left, if we run out and your comfortable with a non board member having your email addy I have friends that have invites left.

Also please remember Wave is still in beta, its about 85% functional. Its already a neat tool, when it goes 1.0 its going to be awesome.

Imagine a group being able to think tank, plan, coordinate,andminister, and follow a mission trip all on one page.

Wave is hard to explain, anyome that make use of technology in their ministry should at least check out their presentation video and see if its something they could use.

(I sound like a Google cheerleader.)

 

Got mine..........

 

Wow.. they are getting them out alot faster than they were a couple weeks ago...
11 invites left.

 

Reading over post #9 makes me wonder why I even try to post from the Blackberry..lol Two/To fat thumbs for to small a keyboard.

 

I got an invite last night.

 

"post from the Blackberry..lol Two/To fat thumbs for to small a keyboard."

My daughter-in-law got a blackberry and I told her that someone could make a billion bucks if they would design software that would figure out which of the three buttons you meant to press on each keystroke. :laugh:

 

I'm not totally clear in what Google Wave is. In what ways will y'all be using it?

 

The sad thing is, after carrying a Blackberry around for 4 year I type quicker with two thumbs than I do with all my fingers...


PJ.. Wave is kinda like a combined Email,Chatroom,Bullitenboard open only to those you include... Your able to post photos,videos, spreadsheet, simple Yes/No/Maybe dicision widgets....

We are currently using it to administor our food program. When we give/receive we post the data in the Wave.. We needed new shelving... Posted up a few options and let the folk running it vote for what they wanted... Scheduling is tons easier now.. What used to take a dozen calls or emails is handled all in one place...

Its a bit overhyped... But it is a handy thing to have.

 

Sounds like a cool tool. Thanks!
