Google Wave
Kratos:
I was invited to Google Wave by my cousin from a drunk country called Ireland.
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=wave&passive=true&nui=1&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwave.google.com%2Fwave%2F&followup=https%3A%2F%2Fwave.google.com%2Fwave%2F<mpl=standard
I use it and so I thought if you guys want to join, i have a few invites left.
Let me know if you want an invite.
The person who gets invited will also get invites and we can increase our group.
What do you think?

I am not impressed. It is SO isolated from every other media that i use that it is a complete burden to stay followed and up to date with this tool. I almost have to go way out of my way just to even get to the wave interface and when I am there it just seems worthless. You can't import Word, Excel, or any other information. It's rather slow with live updates on Firefox. Furthermore, you can't even export the waves to other media such as my Blackberry, Outlook, or anything!
My biggest gripe is you can never truly delete waves. There is a trash and you can unfollow waves, but they are always somehow connected to your account. That is unsettling.
Also, there is no offline mode whatsoever, which is linked with the inability to export waves to other media.
Short and sweet:
Looks - 6/10
Usability - 4/10
Usefulness - 1/10

From what I heard, it's just a private access web forum thread sort of thing. And it gives Google a shortcut instead of having to crawl your life story and cash-in, in a non-evil manner, of course.
