Its a new and complex piece of tech, both on the client and server side.
If I were trying to test out something of that ambition, I'd want to
strictly limit the number of people using it, and try to ensure that
spammers don't (yet) get a look in. The invite approach they took seems a
good way to do that. As you point out tho: it does also has some marketing
benefits for them :-)

As would I. On one hand I'd like an invite, on the other I'd rather
gouge my eyes out than have one. The way Google pass their "invites"
out is very clever-clever in building up a market, but it marks them
out as c***s. I've worked with all kinds of Google stuff and been to
various Google conferences over the years but this time I don't get an
"invite", whereas I have friends who couldn't give the square root of
f*** all about Google who've been "granted" an "invite".
F**k 'em and the horse they rode in on.

Changing the long running threads (don't think I'm not watching)
Now Google Wave invites are out there and more of you have had a chance
to play with wave. What do people think? And why is no one building a
decent client for it?
Am I the only excited person?
I think most everyone else is embarrassed to admit they'd quite like an
invite.
I'd quite like an invite.
Main thing I'm positive about so far, is that XMPP deserves serious
attention and this will help it get some...
