A quick question - I assume however it was possible to get a
Google Wave
account, it's not possible now. Does anybody have an account that could send me an invite so I can test the thing? I really like experimenting with beta things and providing feedback :)
Also, even if you don't send me an invite, how'd you get one in the first place?

I think Gryph got a GTalk invite... he might have gotten a GWave invite as well. Poke him on irc.

But why would they say "If one of your friends has one, they can invite you. Otherwise it sucks to be you"?

Actually controlling the rate of growth is a good thing. No one can say how they determine who gets invited when (I do currently have an invite), but it is best if they invite the people who are going to make use of it, developers, and a few other select groups... they do need chatty people who aren't part of developer communities etc...
Why?
Well, imagine they opened the floodgates on day 1 and let everyone sign up all at once before the innovators really had a chance to demo what is possible with google wave... The not-so-innovative crowd (most of you) might be generally unimpressed with it and label it stupid on day 1. Google might lose a lot of potential users. Believe it or not... controlling rate of growth is actually more beneficial in the long run. The anit-spam stuff is just an extra added bonus... like everything else, there will eventually be spam.
Google has generated billions in ad revenue by playing their cards right for 10 years now. They aren't just being bastards.

If you paypal me 1000$ US I will give you an invite.
As much as I'd love to see you fined/arrested, I don't have 1000 bucks to spare.

What? You don't believe I have these invites?
No. The ToS you agreed to by signing up, would forbid you from selling invites.
