Google Wave Opens a Crack to 100,000 New Users Tomorrow, Despite Reports [Google Wave]

Summary

In July we mentioned that Google Wave would open up to 100,000 new users tomorrow, September 30th. Despite reports that those 100,000 invites go out today, Google confirms on their blog and via email that tomorrow's still the big day.

We've contacted Google for clarification, and they've assured us that reports that invites are going out today are simply misunderstandings, and that invitations won't go out until tomorrow. Either way, if you want to get up to speed on Wave in hope that you're on the short list for tomorrow, check out our Google Wave highlight reel and Wave QnA.

Beyond that, stick around tomorrow for an even fuller examination of what you can expect if you're lucky enough to get in on the limited Wave preview. If you don't get an invite in the first go-round, you're not entirely out of luck. Google says they'll "ask some of these early users to nominate people they know also to receive early invitations." In the meantime, if you happen to get an invite before tomorrow, let us know in the comments.
