Google Wave Will Invite Volunteers To Begin Preview

SciTechToday.com: Google is poised to unleash a wider preview of its fledgling Google Wave, which produces collaborative “waves” of online information that are equal parts conversation and documents. On Wednesday Google will begin sending out Wave preview invitations to individuals who have signed up to provide feedback.

Wave’s preview release will be hosted on the platform’s own dedicated Web site rather than in the separate “sandbox” developers have been using since the platform’s release to developers in May, according to Google Wave Project Manager Dan Peterson.

“In addition to the developers already using Wave, we will invite groups of users from the hundreds of thousands who offered to help report bugs when they signed up,” Peterson said. “And we plan to involve about 100,000 users.”
