Million invites turned out to be few

    The number of invites sent to Google Wave exceeded one million , the company said in its blog. But the turn of those who wish does not dry out. According to a user survey, additional invitations is the most requested feature . Actually, this is also visible on Habré, where the distribution of invites occurs almost every day, although Google Wave has a special form for those who want to receive an invite.

    Nearly a million users is a serious milestone for the young project, which is in the early stages of the preliminary version and is still very far from the final release. In general, few web projects manage to get such a large number of beta testers, and that says a lot.

    On the other hand, many happy Google Wave users still have not understood how to use this innovative service (how many such people are among the million invited?). Now the most interesting thing, says Arrington , is whether Google will be able to solve the problem of “chicken and eggs,” that is, attract a large audience to an empty space and create a chain reaction when new users come with specific interest in the right tool, for valuable content and communication, and not just thanks to the herd reflex. Will the time come when the bookmark with Google Wave is constantly open in the browser?
