I believe the "drip-feed" invite idea suffocated Google Wave. When it first came out I was begging my inbox & skype for invites. Once I finally got in it was ... a wasteland. I dished out invites like there was no tomorrow but in all honesty, if people could JUST sign up, I might have had someone to talk to. Who knows, maybe it might still be running. I'm not sure if there were other factors but personally it never made sense to me. I believe if Google really wanted to, they could go from 0 to 1 million users in minutes.

Agreed on wave. We wanted to use it for projects but there was always the 10% of the team that didn't have access. That seemed like the perfect way not to introduce a product oriented toward collaboration.
