A million invitations were few

The number of invites sent to Google Wave has exceeded one million , the company said in its blog. But the queue is not exhausted. According to a user survey, additional invitations are the most requested feature . Actually, it can be seen on Habré, where the distribution of invitations takes place almost every day, although Google Wave has a special form for those who want to get an invite.



Almost a million users is a serious milestone for a young project, which is in the early preliminary version and still very far from the final release. In general, not enough what a web project can score such a large number of beta testers, and it says a lot.



On the other hand, many happy users of Google Wave have still not understood how to use this innovative service (how many such people are among the million invited?). Now the most interesting thing, says Arrington , is whether Google will be able to solve the “chicken and egg” problem, that is, to attract a large audience to an empty place and create a chain reaction when new users come with a specific interest to the right tool for valuable content and communication not just thanks to the herd reflex. Will the time come when the tab with Google Wave will be constantly open in the browser?
