Google Wave invites

Last month I received an invite to join Google Wave, and I accepted. I wanted to try it out but was soon disappointed because I assumed it would be like Email 2.0. Sadly, you can only Wave to other Google Wave account holders.

So a month on, I have a few contacts in the list and I have started to Wave at people. I can see the potential. But what I discovered the other day was hilarious. People are selling their Wave invites on ebay.

Some are going for $12 or more.

While I'm not surprised, I am finding it very funny that people are selling invites, and I'm not sure how successful they are, but I find it even more humorous that there's enough demand for people to pay for something that's basically free.
