Google Wave for AI Wars
« on: November 09, 2009, 04:37:03 pm »
I'm starting a google wave for AI Wars. If anyone has a google wave account, send me a PM with your gmail address and I'll add you to the wave.

NOTE: I just got my google wave account and don't have invites yet (it's still in limited beta). This only works if you already have a wave account (i.e. one of google's Chosen Ones... mwuhahaha... ermm... n/m)

It's sort of like a super instant-messenger/message board/I don't know...

I'm just trying to learn it to figure exactly what it is too ;)

If its popular and has to do with the internet, google feels like it needs it own version(or to buy one). :)

It's "Twitter" when referrrring to the entire service.

I tried Twitter, I found it to be a rather useless gimmick. It was like text messaging on the computer, something I found to make no sense. The restriction on length of text messages on phones makes some sense due to needing to limit data throughput. On computers it makes zero sense to have such an arbitrary restriction. Its like blogging with text messages, and I think it is a fad that will dissapear quickly.

Google says (in a nutshell):  "Google Wave is what eMail/I'm would be if they were freshly invented only a year ago".

I have a few invites to pass out. If anyone is interested, PM me here.  I have some friends who signed up at the same time as I did and 3 weeks later they are still awaiting activation, while I got mine quite fast.  Your mileage may vary.

It might be good policy if everyone who has some wave invites to dole out give at least one to an AI Wars player so we can ramp up quickly.

Cheers~
