Dear Google,
I believe I deserve a Google Wave invite far more than the other people who are desperately begging all over the ‘net, turning every tech forum into a gigantic, online slum for the Wave-deprived. Here are a list of reasons why I expect Lars Rasmussen to personally deliver my invite to me in Melbourne.
- During the early days of Gmail beta I offered Gmail invites to friends who were using Hotmail for a small fee. This shows a history of taking advantage of Google’s ingenuity for my own personal profit and if given access I promise to do the same with Wave invites.
- This included selling one to my own sister; “1 gig of storage for your emails doesn’t come cheap!”
- Very few people know, or will admit, that I am actually the person responsible for the two o’s in the middle of ‘Google’. ;)
- Sergey Brin lost the company to me in a game of rock-paper-scissors in 1999 but I was too busy becoming the world’s best Counterstrike player to take ownership of the domain.
- Wave is useless if you don’t have friends, I have created more fake accounts to add to my friends list on Facebook than the average developer :p
Seriously, it does look very exciting, but personally I’m more interested in the mythical GDrive project and when Google think they might release this. With Microsoft now offering 25 gig free on Windows Live Skydrive, I don’t know how much longer I can wait for Google to make their offering in this space public.
PS. My google username is ronald80. Important I add that so you know where to send my invite!
