Google Wave Preview survey 是不是很无助的调查？
从最开始的$6000一枚的邀请，到后面的大白菜邀请，风一样的往里面挤，各种各样的排队系统等等，好一个热火。。。
第一次进去，兴致勃勃的参加一个群讨论，到100多人的时候，浏览器直接crash。。心有余悸。。从此看到99+的session，不敢点了，我躲得起。后来，我还曾经进去，发现速度倒是提高了不少，但是由于里面的实时功能太多，瓶颈依然存在。使用一段时间之后，当有人开帖送邀请的时候，甚至有人在回复：我那里还有几十封Gmail的邀请，有谁要吗？搞得人哭笑不得！(目前本人的帐号里面还有不下20枚邀请) 。但是Google的这种邀请机制还是赢得了不少的目光，但是现在听在墙外的朋友也说，那边也几乎没有什么人使用了，由此可见一斑。。但是我很喜欢这种在线的 communicate 就是希望以后我们的机器都升级之后，或者是云计算真的遍地开花之后能很好的普遍了。
好久没有登陆，今天无意中又进去看了一下，还是差不多，右上角多了个Feedback，赶紧打开，不过我看到的是一个survey，而不是普通的feedback，按照我们的理解，调查和反馈不是很接近的概念，而且其中列出的问题也证明了我的想法，例如：
If you could no longer use Google Wave Preview, how would you feel?
If Google Wave Preview were no longer available, what would you use as an alternative?
总之看到这样的几个问题之后，感觉很酸很酸，google出的产品好像还没有做这样问题的调查吧？
怀着更加酸的心情，我如实的填写了我的使用感受。。。。Submit！
再次拥有数枚GG wave 邀请名额 发放 同时激活了wavesandbox
前两天收到了来自google的邮件，说我可以去wavesandbox体验了。。就激活了。。没有太多的改变，这个是提供给开发者开发、测试使用，而且开发者版和公测版不能互加为好有（至少目前是这样）。在外观上看来，开发者版只是在左边的logo上多了个dev preview的字，然后右上角的连接多了一个debug的功能。如下图：
同时，再一次获得Google Wave的邀请名额，还剩19枚，仍然没有的朋友可以留言，继续发送！

Got 8 Google Wave Invitations
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!
So . . If you still have not got one , comment here …
Father: What would you like for your birthday son?
Son: A google wave invite!
Father: Whats google wave?
Son: Its “a personal communication and collaboration tool” announced by Google at the Google I/O conference on May 27, 2009. It is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. It has a strong collaborative and real-time focus supported by extensions that can provide, for example, spelling/grammar checking, automated translation among 40 languages, and numerous other extensions. Initially released only to developers, a “preview release” of Google Wave was extended to nearly 1 million users beginning September 30, 2009, with the initial 100,000 users each allowed to invite up to twenty additional users.
Father: …. interesting…. (gives the son a strange look) Where could I find one?
Son: Well you can buy one on ebay for around $50.
Father: $50! For a service that will be free in a few months?
Son: But DADDY! I really want one!
Father: If you can find one free you can have it.
Son: googles “google wave invites” and finds “www.invitegooglewave.com” ‘Hey daddy look!’
Father: Maybe they would be so kind as to send one along to Volons@gmail.com because it seems they are actually giving them out unlike other sites.
Son: I really hope so!
