**Checked Dec. 29, one invite left. I will add a new post later today with 10 more wave invites if I have time.

They are building up and are gonna blow. Figured I could try just throwing some of the invite urls here and let visitors click and signup. If this seems to work I will add more but just putting a few for now. All you have to do is click on the url (if one doesnt work, try the next one) and sign into your google account. You should then be taken to a newly created wave account.

• All invites used, see newer post.

If you are in need of an invite, now is a great time to get one. Most users are getting lots of invites and nerds without wave are becoming hard to find. Meanwhile our wave invite channel on freenode is getting a bit lonely for us invite ranchers. If you need an invite to google wave use this webchat, pick a nickname and when you get in say !invite and someone will contact you shortly (lots of users in there are giving away invites, very few are in need of them). Do not be shy, we have lots to give away (I have almost 100 now).

These invites are free, and you have to do nothing to get one other than ask (by using !invite).  Since they are free, please do not expect the givers to jump through hoops like scr.im or the like.

Psst… See that link on the top right? The birdie? You should click on it and follow us on twitter. The worlds largest wave robot list needs more followers and only YOU can help us!

Seriously, click the link and follow us. I am trying to collect as many followers as possible so I can take over the world. I dont spam much and promise to keep it PG32 rated.

I added another 12 bots that have been spidered from the intertubes and that puts us over the 200 limit by 11. This list is growing so fast I will probably have to redesign the front page of the wiki so there is not a mile long scroll needed to find what you want.

The idea I had for a redesign were along the lines of moving the bots to sections with each section having its own page. For example Entertainment would be a page, and all wave bots that are made for entertainment purposes would be listed there. All sections would be listed on the front page and maybe a short list of all the bots (minus descriptions) would be placed in the section description.

If anyone has any other ideas on how I could shorten the page without messing with the list too much, please feel free to post it as a comment below. I am open for suggestions.

I know it was Thanksgiving but there were still almost 3,000 visitors to the site. I would have expected more replies but sadly only one was given. The winner of the only invite (out of 5 I was going to give today) was gomezbeats who wanted his wave invite to give to “friends and colleagues”. Enjoy your invite and thanks for the reply. I guess I will just give out the rest of the invites for today on the #GoogleWaveInvites irc channel on freenode. If you are in need of an invite and are able to idle on irc for a few hours at a time check us out. If you do not have an irc client, here is a link to a web based irc chat but remember you must stay online so you notice when someone tries to send you an invite.

P.S. Happy turkey day to everyone who celebrates.

I wrote a php script that will crawl (one level only) a given url and find all bot addresses. I ran it against some large bot list sites (of course none as big as this one) and it found a total of 40 bots. Granted 15 of those were found by crawling a google query, but it was still cool. I have tosses those bots on the wiki so I can beef them up when I get a chance. Feel free to check them out and please let us know if you find any that are bogus.

Google wave giving me invites to give out

I just received another wave telling me I have 8 more invites to give out. I figure this time I will make it easier for users without wave to get the invite (they are the ones who need it most right?).

Respond to this forum post and tell me why you deserve a wave invite more than anyone else and I will give invites to the best or most entertaining replies. I will give 5 out on Thursday (Thanksgiving day) and 3 on (Black) Friday.

On the 10th I started a small little contest for the most wiki edits. The user with the most content would get a wave invite. Later that night I added 3 invites up for those who tweeted the contest post. The contest ended today (15th) and here are the results:

As for the wiki editing part of the contest, JohnLBeven gets the invite there.

Three invites were also awarded to users who retweeted the post. Those users are (twitter usernames): @gamerfreak1727, @patolinx and @willparkman. These users have been either sent an invite or asked to msg me (twitter) to receive their Google Wave invites.

Hi, I’m James Wilson, and pleased to be a part of this site. danopia`, cr_0, and I just launched this new wiki on Wave Protocol and Servers.

WaveCompass.net

Please help us fill it with wonderful wavey goodness on protocols and servers.

The mission: Fill in all the missing cracks left in Google’s (lack of) documentation, and provide easy tutorials on how you can set up your own wave server.

We have detailed protocol information and wish to add more above and beyond what the official Wave documentation says.  We will have instructions on every type of wave server there is, how to federate, and how to set up certificates.
