What do you think about Google Wave... aka Gwave?

Hey guys, let me chime in a bit on Google Wave as I wrote Gwave Secrets for Howie Schwartz and my own members site, Gwave Mastery. In fact it was Jack Humphrey and I that re-named Google Wave as Gwave. Not to blow my own horn here, just who I am and where I am coming from.

Google Wave is very powerful, saves you tons of time and is a very rich collaboration application, discussion platform and networking app. Don't let anybody tell you it's hard to get invites, I have lots, just email me at chris {at] keywebdata * com and I will send you one directly.

Why Google Wave? Well it is all part of Google's social networking features rolling out all over Google properties like YouTube, Gmail, Google Reader and now Google Buzz which I think is way valuable to us all.

Jack Humphrey and I just talked about Buzz on his Friday Traffic Report BTR show. We both are very excited to see a social dashboard of our real friends online from Twitter and FriendFeed now showing in Google Buzz.

But really you have to use Google Wave for me to help you with it, so if you or anyone needs an invite, shout me up and send me your Gmail address to the Google account you want to use for Gwave.

But remember this, don't send me a spam address, and choose wisely, this address is public due to how it is used by Google. Case in point....

chrislang@gmail.com becomes chrislang@googlewave.com which is also linked to my Google profile, Chris Lang - Google Profile and there's tons more to this too.

But what I want you to realize before you choose where you want to use Google Wave and Buzz, is that there are tons of personal branding chances here for you so I want you to again, choose wisely. I choose to make my Gmail address public for others to easily follow me in Google Reader, Buzz and Gwave, but that is me.


I use my main email at keywebdata.com above for personal communications and Gmail for everything social. So if I can help anyone here get Google Social stuff, just let me know.

If you have any Gwave questions once you have a invite from me or someone else, ask away, it is my favorite app these days. Mostly due to the real time nature of the thing. Hope this helps you get started with Gwave. - Chris
