Hi Brett,
I filled in the form at wave.google.com - multiple times with different
accounts. At a date when the WAVE team blogs said that the registration
counter was at 20000. So I really was counting on getting at least one
account last week...
Probably the WAVE team is more comfortable in making the press feel good
than the average developer here in Europe. On the other hand -as I still
didn't get any message about an account yet- I am starting to really
understand the snobbish attitude of this entire WAVE hype. (Let me guess:
your e-mail address made you to get an account IMMEDIATELY, right??? Don't
take this question personal please - just as an objective method to realize
"what's really going on here".)
Or better - let me ask the question in a different way: Is there any way
to set up a Wave server independently, just to get around this
hype-creating, limiting, psycho-bubble thing so-called "developer-preview"
right now? Just that any developer really interested in could create his own
accounts & see what he can really *develop* with it?
* Thanks for reading,
Josef ;-)
p.s.: I'm in software development since 20 years, and assure you: I
*never* got such bad experience with a new product launch... I expected
probably too much, but never thought that "Google would let me down on such
a simple thing like this" - just to call it by name.
