Google Announces New Google Wave "Wave" Notification
eldavojohn writes "Google has announced new Google Wave Wave Notifications where Google sends an actual person to you to notify you in real time that you have a new Google Wave update!" Word is that they hired as many as 10 people for these positions to deal with all the wave traffic.
Stop with the inane April Fool's Day "joke", and I use that term loosely, posts. These aren't funny.
Failed it in the previous article.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Well, let's just say those recent bee attacks in Phoenix were part of a "beta" that didn't quite work out.
lame
It was funny the first time. When was that? 10 years ago?
Its not funny anymore you twits.

You had me until the 10 people bit when everyone knows 2 maybe 3 people could handle the wave traffic.
So...I'm sitting there on my computer when this hot girl comes up telling me there's been a response to my first "wave"...which was "Is this thing on?". It sat there, like a wet fart on a humid day for literally two months with no responses.
What does she do? Asks me if I want to pay her to play a game with her. As if! That's just wrong, google!
(We're currently trying to level my paladin, he's sitting at level 37. Sucks. She's better than I am...and getting paid to do it!)

I hate April Fools. Google ruined it.
I thought it was Topeka now?
I'm so confused. :-(
That's more than the number of people who will read this story.
Sorry about the mess.
Am I the only one who tried to watch the YouTube video in TFA in text mode? You would think they would try to coordinate some of these...
That's Topeka Wave to you!
Ninjas don't carry tic tacs
I keep instinctively asking that chick to show me her tits. What they hell have you done, internet?!
Why is it so hot? Where am I going? What am I doing in this handbasket?
is like watching Hollywood try to do geek stuff.
You guys are to humor what The Net and Swordfish are to computers.

I think this is another Google's April First joke
No, it's legit. I've already tested it out mysef, and it worked as advertised. Sadly, I accidentally used the new Google Docs feature that allows you to upload ANYTHING to upload myself, so now I can't see the people waving. Hmm.
The people who are associated with Slashdot seem to be socially challenged. They must not only lack a sense of humor, but not have a good understanding of the nature of humor to think that those April 1 Slashdot stories are funny.
Playing video games too much tends to cause people to be mentally primitive.
That's a little overkill.
The Internet has given stupid people the resources of intelligent people.

I was able to unload my Wave invites for like $20 each on eBay when I got in on the ground floor. Haven't logged in since. :)
With the first link, the chain is forged.
I'm pretty fucking sick of reading your bullshit. It may be somewhat believable to the dullards that infest this place, but I know better.
Hopefully the moderators will help me (and themselves) ruin your karma.

Do the right thing.
For those of you looking to fill your meme quotient for the day... Yo dawg, we heard you like Google Wave, so we got a real person to wave at you while you wave at your friends from your wave.
complaining about a tradition many more people DO find amusing. It's one day, you know it's not real, get over it. No one thinks you're more cool or mature because you're 'above' this.
I know it's a joke but I still want it!
The above comments are the ravings of a lunatic and should be ignored completely.
I get jokes.
Shiny. Let's be bad guys...
At least it finally explains why they spent so much money on street view, it's so they can find you for the wave waves.
Orwell was an optimist.
/. today has been the dumbest experience of my life.
Please let it be April 2nd soon.
You uploaded yourself? Just make sure the MCP doesn't notice you.
USE HOT GRITS WITH STATUE OF NATALIE PORTMAN (NAKED AND PETRIFIED)
You do know the upload feature just uploads a copy, without destroying the original, don't you? Your original self is still sitting at his computer in his mom's basement. You, on the other hand, are just an online backup. Sorry to break the bad news to you.
P.S. This really hot chick just walked in to deliver a "wave" to your original self. Unfortunately, she walked right back out again before he could take advantage of the situation.
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
SlashRoulette wtf? Getting on my nerves. How to switch it off? I'd rather have ADS then this stupid annoying unswitchable(?__) crap !! !!!!!!!111
who do u have to sleep with around here to get an article submission, my one about the Data Cable laying Ferets was much better than this tosh
Ok, so a city in Kansas is hiring people to go wave at other people? Do I have it right? Or is this an old story about Topeka?
See that "Preview" button?
Wave really needed such notifications; even the Firefox plugin wasn't really all that good.
But... are these human Google Wave notifiers configurable and themable? If not, I think that's a feature that really needs to be added. And, no, I don't want to have to use a theme editor just to get the kind of Google Wave notifier I like.
Now has a "3D" option that lets you use 3D glasses to view the page as though it was curved in a book?
I'm assuming this is an April 1 joke, right? Right?
If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.

There is a weird video of (about?) Slashroulette on the top. Don't tell anyone
In my school, somebody just waved to me signifying something new in my google wave. Guess I have to start using "wave" again.
Computers can reverse entropy.
Even though everyone around here is absolutely in love with Google, can we please not post every single April Fools joke that that company does?
Oof, that's got to sting.
All three users, on the other hand, were very happy with this development.
'nuff kid !
