It seems everyone wants Google Wave– even people who don’t know what it is. It’s like when Apple came out with their iPhone– only Google Wave is free. Still, people were willing to pay for an invite. I saw some listed for $300 on eBay. And on Twitter– well! People begged. Here’s my top 10 Twitter posts from people begging for an invite:

10. Blt_headshot_normalGeeklawyer-icon-4b_normal btannebaum: @Geeklawyer I do not have a Google wave invite, but maybe if I beg for one all day on twitter, ill get one. What is Google wave by the way?

9. Photo_294_normal sophiemcneil: I feel like the middle school girl who didn’t get invited to the party. Umm, like, Google, where the heck is my invite to the Wave party??

8. Matt_normalHeadshot_normal  mattbrauchler: @dukebaby @wasser I thought maybe if I would wave at google they would give me one. I was wrong. ;-)

7. Banditloaf2009-2_normal banditloaf: Dear Internet, I have been a good boy and would like a Google Wave invitation. I want to make people watch me write about spaceships.

6. Twitr_normal Micropixie: @dakster9 what is google wave and am I invited to the party?

5. Coghill-nerd-cartoon-mascot-character-illustration-60x160_normal gcoghill: No fair Google, I know you can tell from all my searches you store and analyze that I am a big nerd and need some Google Wave.

4. Imag0010-1_normal CheeseKing: Let me just say this…I would do horrible, unforgivable acts to get a Google Wave invite. :) #GoogleWave

3. Devongundry_medium_normal devongundry: if i were homeless, i would beg for a google waveinvite instead of food. if youre feeling philanthropic, devongundry at gmail will love you

2. Gurdonark2_normal Gurdonark: People who beg for a Google Wave invite remind me of folks who paid above-sticker to buy a PT Cruiser. Patience!

1. Askance_normal noahlevin: Fellow nerds: I will pay TEN DOLLARS for an invitation to Google Wave. Yes, it’s worth slightly more to me than a burrito with guac. #fb

 

Seriously, noahlevin– if I had an invite, it would be yours in exchange for a Chipotle burrito!
