Matt CrosslinSo Google Wave Is Dead Already?

Posted by: Matt Crosslin In: Current Events|Web 2.0

Finally – my Google Wave invite is here. I have heard that if you get invited by someone else, don't mention their name on a public site – because that person will get inundated by requests for an invitation!  Of course, the person that sent me an invite knows who they are – so to [...]
