Get rich being a Google Beta tester – Google Wave
Today, Google sent out about 100,000 invitations to the Google Wave for the Beta users. The Google Wave project was revealed at the Google I/O on May 27 – 28, 2009 in Moscone Center, San Francisco and limited account were given to those who attended. On Oct 1, 2009, it was released to beta tested who did not attend the I/O. The Google Wave is basically a communication and collaboration tool that works with richly formatted photos, text, videos, maps, and more. According to Google Wave‘s website:
A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.
A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.
This created a buzz in the online tech and create a market for “entrepreneurs” who got the invite. Within minutes, ebay was flooded with Google Wave Invitations and some of the invitations were listed and sold for $89.99.
Humm… so next time, be one of Google’s tester or be on their active list and you might be able to make a lot of dole.
I was one of the first few people who got a GMail invite when they were beta testing it and I could have sold mine for a fortune on eBay but it wasn’t in me. I did give out a dozen free invites to co-workers, friends out of the 100 invites I got. So, anybody for a free Gmail invite? 
$89.99/invite X 100 invites = $8,999 (Quite a nice change…)
The new Google Wave. 100,0000 invitations was sent out on 10/1/09
