This morning I opened my gmail account and was ecstatic to see that I had finally cracked an invite to join the new Google Wave! (Oh man…how much of a geek have I become?) I put everything else aside and prepared to be amazed – Wave, for those of you who do not yet know, is meant to change the way in which we communicate and share information online. Everyone who is anyone in social media has been Tweeting and raving about it and I had to get in on the action as soon as possible.
So I logged in and…nothing. I only have five contacts (and I don’t know three of them, to be honest), and the two that I could interact with were too busy to play, sorry, wave with me. What a let down! To make matters worse, I had not received any invitations to forward to my friends, so I feel completely at the mercy of Doctor Wave!
After much deliberating, I decided to annoy my two contacts (which I clearly did as neither of them really responded to my desperate waving much) and then I gave up. I guess, like all good networks, we’ll have to wait a while for this one to fill up before we’ll truly be able to experience the bliss that is the wave.
Until then <insert my hand waving right here>…
