Post by: AmIMeYet on February 26, 2010, 03:11:37 PM: Was also thinking about Wave the other day.. It's a real mix of IRC and shoutbox.. Wave has an embed API (basically a javascript include), but we would need to wait for google to continue on it's development before we can use it, because only waves in the wavesandbox can show their wave-ID right now, which is required in order to embed a wave.

So I also have a Wave account.. am I cool now? B)

I'm not a Google fanboy. I was invited to this to collaborate on a clan newsletter for another game, but after we decided to stop using it I kept my account. Since I have no one but all of you to invite, I figured I'd be nice and offer it up.

A fanboy for exploring something new?
Is it not this, that we where looking for, for a possible shoutbox/IRC replacement?

Invite others to Google Wave

Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.

Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.

Happy waving!
