This post may be premature. If that is the case, I will atone for my mistake by collecting the email addresses from this thread and throwing up a simple invite sharing site for use later on.

from Google: “We’ll ask some of these early users to nominate people they know also to receive early invitations — Google Wave is a lot more useful if your friends, family and colleagues have it too. This, of course, will just be the beginning. If all goes well we will soon be inviting many more to try out Google Wave.”

Requesters:

Leave a note and your email address (you can protect it from bots with reCAPTCHA mailhide http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/)

Share the love after you get your invite

Donors:

To prevent waste, leave a reply to a requester's message before you dispatch the invite

Also: thanks for sharing

Well, if there actually are "unneeded" invites floating around, I'd like one as well :)

As far as I know people won't be able to invite others, so there is no invite to share. You'll only be able to recommend (8) friends, and they will have priority on the others.

BTW: I am in the developer preview but I haven't received the invite for the real thing. I asked to the others in the sandbox but it doesn't look like there's any invite being received so far.

Thanks for sharing this. There is definitely a good chance this thread is a lost cause.

It's like a HN version of the recent Reddit exploit...

According to google's official blog (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/surfs-up-wednesday-go...):

- They're sending 100.000 invites starting from today

- They'll ask some of the invited users to nominate others to also receive early invites

So they're probably not giving all of them away today, not everyone will get invites to share and if you do they won't be direct invites but nominations.

According to the Google Australia team, they won't be releasing the invites until tonight so that they will be up to handle the influx of users. http://twitter.com/twephanie

Also, here's my email, if the nominations/invites exist: johngunderman[at]gmail.com Thanks :)
