Some of the best responses are as follows:

Christian:
“as far as I’ve been able to figure it out its for sudoku and weather. That and taking up 200+mb of memory. /nerd”

Steve-o:
“like what could it possibly be useful for? collaborating on a piece of text that needs to be in more real time than email or IM but not urgent enough to meet in person?
what the hell kind of application is that?”


Digital Dave:
“Dude, thanks for the round of invites. Stoked that I’m in and can send a dozen or so off to my friends. I crave the wave!”

Molly:
“it’s totally awesome 24/7″

Andy:
“Well, Robert, from the sounds of things, it’s a pretty extreme way to communicate. It’s like the Mountain Dew of interpersonal collaboration. Its synergistic combination of document-functionality and conversation-versatility is like a flaming elio’s pizza roll wrapped in a dorito, doused in axe body spray and served to a motocross racer as he’s blown by a great white shark.”

SMP:
“omg. i’ve been waiting for an invite to ride the wave. thanks so much rob. let’s get our collaboration on.”

Thanks for all the input guys, I’m super excited to ride the Wave now!

Until I realize I don’t really care. Anyways, this is a solid editorial piece from America’s Finest News Source: The Onion.

For non-marketing and/or non-nerds, this is what tracks page views, where people come from, searches that land people here, etc. Anyways, one of the searches was: “funny myspace porno icon” …Glad to see that this is directing traffic to my site. I don’t even know what to say about that.
