Google Wave

I read a recent blog on ActiveRain(can't recall who wrote it, but thank you), about Google Wave. I watched the video. It looks amazing. You have to be invited to try it. Google sent out 100,000 invites and apparently those people can invite up to 8 people. I'm not a techy (not even sure if that is how its spelled), but recently have thought email is so out dated. There must be a better way. There is, Google Wave. I haven't found anything that information of when it will be released to the public. I think they are trying to work out the bugs. If anyone knows anything about the launch date, please let me know. If you haven't seen it go to http://wave.google.com/help/wave/closed.html
