Google Wave is out! Are you invited?

Google has started giving out invites ( 100,000 of them ) to google wave today. Google wave is a new communications and collaborative platform and it has created a lot of interest and hype. It promises to revolutionize the way people communicate. Though the look may be cluttered for some, but the functionalities it offers look so futuristic, that it was sold from day one. And like everything. google never advertised for its product. The news spread virally.  Such is the power of ideas. It is a major trending topic on twitter now (since it is launching officially today).




So excited about the prospect that i may have been invited ( ah, the quintessential hope!) since i had filled the form quite early, i went to the site wave.google.com only to see the following message:



So for now i haven't been invited. I so wanted to see it today. But guess, will have to wait for some more time. Oh, microsoft has launched its antivirus software today. Called security essentials it comes free for the genuine users of windows operating systems. Its good to see the monolith offer something for free! It's all due to the free culture started by google! I love google's philosophy!

By the way if you are clueless about google wave, watch the folloeing video ( 10 min abridged version of the original 1 hr 20 min address) :
