I have 15 Google Wave Invitations left out of 20. I want to invite some people, not randomly or whoever asks me. So please post a comment on this post and I will select some people from you to invite to have a preview of Google Wave.
I found many people are turning these invitations to money making machine. So people are using this as social money, which perhaps is good. If someone wants to share these invitations to her/his followers then nothing wrong with that. This is similar, even better than to share with your friend. But some people are doing some disgusting stuff. Some people have created websites with many ad banners and asks you to forward some number of people to their website from a unique short link. And they say you will get your invitations like that. I am not sure whether those people accept this trick seriously and post that link on twitter thinking that their followers might click on that link and they might get an invite, getting a invite or not!
There are few people who create too many email ids and send invitations to their own other email ids, so they can multiply the invitations they have and make money from that. The math is simple, if you have an Google wave account, then you will get 20 invitations (I got 8 initially and other 12 today morning). So if you share these with your other email ids, then you will get 400 invitations. You can make these 400 to 160,000 – but this process may take some more days, in by that time Google Wave may open to all. So these people start their bad business with these 400 invitations. Learned little late, not everyone can share invites, only those who got invitations from Google itself can share them.
I found some people asking for invitations on twitter with some brand new twitter account. And the only purpose of the account is to ask other people for Google Wave invites.
I am interested to share these invitations with those people who look like deserving on my eyes. So with the comment say something about you, add a link to your blog, portfolio, website, twitter, identi.ca, facebook, friendsfeed, digg or any other link you like to. So that I can know and understand you better to share a Google Wave invite with you. It may take some time (even more than a day) for your to receive the invitation. As the people at Google say,
Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.
You don’t need to be a Geek or technocrat to be selected by me, I have shared these invitations with journalism student, film editor and media director, computer science student and IT professionals. And the next is you!

Update

I really like your philosophy on the google wave invites! I provided a link to my twitter so you can see a little bit of what I am about. Your quote, ‘I’m essentially a software developer by profession, an entrepreneur by ambition, and a computer scientist by osmosis.’ , is very fitting for me as well. Nice wording! (and thanks for the invitation opportunity!)
I have sent a Google Wave invitation to you. It will be in your inbox few days later, as there is a heavy queue to process these requests.

Hi,
I do IT development for finnish libraries. Intrested in trying out Google Wave for library purpouses and also for my personal communicating – there’s a lot of that.
If you could send me a invite, that would really make my day.
Have a nice day you too!
Please send me a link where I can learn about you, something like twitter, facebook etc.
I can see how people are turning GoogleWave into a money making machine, I can admire their ingenuity however it makes me a bit mad at the same time. Especially when I saw the invites going up on ebay for several hundred dollars. I can’t believe that something that will be free soon enough is such a hot item that people will pay so much money for it. I have been asking for invites on Twitter as I see them (thats how I found your blog actually) but I don’t expect anything to come of it. I do get a giggle out of reading the reactions when people who after begging DON’T get a code…they get so angry its comical.
About Me. I’m a Realtor in SW Florida. I’m also an aspiring musician, and artist, a website designer, a blogger, a poet…(to quote Seinfield) yadda yadda yah.

Hello,
I coordinate IT stuff for this very small college. we do not have bricks and mortar yet so our efforts are necessarily distributed. I would like to use Google Wave as a distributed development environment. One of our constraints is band width limits at our end points.
Cheers,
Michael

I understand and respect your approach in relation to sending wave invitations.
I’ve been asking invites in some forums, blogs and twitter all this week. I definitely do not like begging anybody for anything so trivial and I must say that I almost lost interest in this tool so this is my last request.
I remember when I received my gmail invite account. This time is the same, I just want to use it to improve my personal communication. In fact, I seriously doubt that wave will really change our way to communicate, but for that very reason I am very curious to try it.
I would very much appreciate if you can send me and invite.
Ciao

Hello: It is awesome that you are willing to hand out invitations like this!
I am a recent law school graduate and I am starting at a major law firm in Silicon Valley handling matters such as venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, and financing. I am very interested in a Google Wave invite because my field is focused primarily on technology firms, and I’d like to be up to date on new developments.
Thanks so much if you decide to give me an invitation!
Hello,
This is a good way to decide how to share invites. I’m a web developer who is currently working for a project of the UN Foundation called RHRealityCheck.org – a daily publication focusing on reproductive health and justice issues. I built the site using Drupal. I also run TwoHandsWorldshop.com – a fair trade retail business – with my wife out of our home. You can read about us here: http://twohandsworldshop.com/aboutus.php
Anyway, I’d love to get a look at google wave as I would like to incorporate it into an intranet project I have coming up.
Thanks for your consideration!
Brady
I want to wave with my mistress which is far away
) -it’s true!
Could you, please, send me an invitation if you still have one.
Thanks!
…or two!
My wife and I live on an old wooded schooner in Florida waters. Nancy is an aspiring children’s author from Canada. This tool will allow her to use our only laptop with the best results. Our vessel is surrounded by waves, but we truly need the new one!
I’m really interested in using wave. The website is one I made for the bell choir I play with. I’m hope that wave makes certain organizational things easier for those types of things.
It’s a real drag when you spend hours scheduling rehearsals! :p
Steven
