Win Free Google Wave Invites
I am sure you would love to get your hands on this novel collaboration tool called Google Wave that has created a humungous hype and is tremendously trending in the intrepid internet. Alliterations aside, we are giving away invites to you, for free (as in gratis). Each Wave account has eight invitations (as you can see in the screenshot) , and the Techie Buzz team is happy to announce that we will be giving away up to twenty free Google Wave invites to Techie Buzz readers – pooled in from all the Wave accounts of the Techie Buzz team.
However, as always, there is a catch. You, reader, must leave a comment on this post or any of the other two posts linked to in this one telling us why you would want an invite. The best answers will be nominated for the invite – as you can see from the screenie itself that the invites are not sent immediately. The specific words used by the Google Wave team are “We have a lot of stamps to lick.”
However, we will add the best comments to the invitation list. Do remember to put in your email ID when commenting (not in the body of the comment, but I am sure you knew that!)
As an added benefit, Tweeting any or all these posts might also increase your chances of getting an invite. So grab the opportunity now!
Update: Thanks for the overwhelming response. We have nominated some of the commentators for wave invites, we will be doing so for more of you in the next few days. Happy waving.

Hi,
From the reviews I have read on Techie-Buzz by Unitechy, I think it’s an amazing tool and would be very useful for me. Just trying my luck….cheers! 
I want an invite because I just want it!!!

I’m keen to get a Google Wave account to further some of the work I am doing in Australia around digital inclusion and the capacity of digital technology to support not-for-profit organisations to undertake their work. Of course, Clay Shirky is right, “the technology on becomes interesting when it is ubiquitous, because it goes from technical capital to social capital”. But, I’m keen to help organisations see the potential of using this technology to support people who are so often isolated and excluded.

This is great! I would love to have one invite for google wave. Being a budding android developer, I would like to see my chances of making an android app which can tweet and wave.
Tweet part is all fine by now and desperately need a wave account for the rest. I’ll put credits of techie-buzz in my app for sure!

I’m hoping to get an invite so that I can run through the ability of Google Wave to be used as a project collaboration tool. I’m getting ready to embark on a programming journey, and something like this would be neat to use to keep everything organized and tidy. A great service being offered from google, and you guys are providing a great service for those of us on the outside looking in.

I am in the process of establishing myself as a presence technologies consultant to non-profits and small businesses. My goal isn’t to repeatedly recommend a narrow set of the same tools to every business entity. Instead, my focus is on understanding the needs of a business and recommending a mix of tools that most applies to that business. The result of this endeavor is me signing up on numerous sites throughout the internet. From Rejaw (gone) and Jaiku on to Twitter, I work to use and understand not the best representative of a tech, but each segment of technology as a whole. As a programmer, its never about platform or infrastructure, its about code configured to meet specific needs. Clearly, Wave is new and potentially represents the very best of all that’s come before it. Whether it succeeds or fails, it will influence everything that comes after it. Of this there is no doubt and I would like very much to be part of this moment if you are willing to make it real for me. Regardless the outcome, I thank you for this opportunity.

Im not a blogger or a super geek, but I’ve been really really keen to get to try Google Wave and was among the 1st to tweet your 1st impressions ( it got two RTs already if that helps lol ) and i promise to participate in any user feedback stuff you guys do in future on Google Wave – which I know you will.

I want to keep it short. I need an invite to try out Wave and all the mentioned features.
I have been waiting for it ever since the notification is released and am very much excited to use it. As wave can be used to collaborate with others, I expect an invite from you so that we can test it out together.

It’s an itch. It’s a terrible itch. And I need to scratch.. very soon.. But seriously, this is very likely to sweep away my workflow and daily routine. So isn’t the earlier the better??
ps. Oh and I love your article! *puppy eyes*

Can I participate?
If yes, I would love an invite.
Why? Simple, because I believe Google Wave is a potential game changer. And I would love to get the oppertunity to play with it. And having beta tested multiple products, I definitely think I can be a decent enough beta tester.

Just like everyone else, I want to join the club and beat up anyone not in it. I mean, obviously, that’s why Google christened it Wave, after that angsty book/novel.

Hey,
I’d like an invite so that I can invite other people who want an invite that can then invite other people who want an invite who can then invite other people who want an invite…… -> infinite loop!

I really NEED an invitation, I’m planing to reach the singularity soon and for that GWave will be the tool to handle and share the information with you Humans.
Obviously is normal that you ask yourself why an Superior being like me need this, well actually as an super being I need to understand humans, so this is the best way that I know.
Anyway I will expecting my invitation soon. Maybe I can give you the oportunity of time travel as a thank you, but I don’t know if you body can support being descompose on molecules.

I need this invite. I know its my destiny to go asking like this. I have never got what I wanted..ever..When Gmail was launched, I remember begging and pleading people for invites.Yet, I was among the last to get an invite. It was the same even with dead services like pownce..So, I know I will never be lucky enough to get an invite quicker than others..But as it is, trying my luck here..Not that I am hopeful…

Hi folk!
I’d love to try Wave because I think it’s a revolutionary way to communication and collaboration. Not to talk about sharing document.
I’d love to try it at work, and at home with friends.
This think seem to be so damn flexible and easy to use, I simply can’t wait to test it!

You don’t really need to drop an invite here… because
I’m too good for Google Wave.

I’m looking forward to using google wave in the workplace, as well as privately. I’m interested in seeing how it can be applied to my work environment for sharing data, editing documents, and collaborating in a sort of internet based meeting. Using features such as the extension that allows you to make a conference call from within wave all seem to be very applicable to the workplace.
Personally I would love to be able to start waves with family and friends, sharing multimedia such as photos and video. I’m interested in seeing how the conversations will take shape and form in the new wave setting.
Look forward to just experiencing the wave of the future as well as applying it to everyday needs.

Getting the invite to google wave would be great. It would allow me to provide bugs, errors, and be a parts of this developing software. It would also better enable me to multitask by utililizing the embedding features to my websites, blogs, social networking sites, all from one app. Cant wait for this one to come out.. Move over Facebook, Twitter, myspace.. there is a new game in town with a great vision..

HI! I really like Gmail. In fact, I prefer it instead of Yahoo Mail or even Hotmail. I’m sure GWave will be at least as twice as successful as Gmail is, so I would like a chance to help it succeed.
Thanks in advance!

Hearing the buzz, I came to know that Google Wave is not just a wave, but a tsunami, that would destroy the current social networking and turn it over a new leaf….
I would just love to see how does it do…..And of course,I could do some beta testing….
