It was earlier rolled out by Google by invites but as of May 18, it was freely available.  Honestly, for all these months \u2013 of restrictive roll out \u2013 I did not see a whole lot of use for it.  I already have folks on gmail and I don\u2019t think I would have as many on GWave with invite only sign ups.  So, despite my initial enthusiasm, I really didn\u2019t bother.<\/p>\n<p>But a widely open Google Wave will be a different animal!  The contacts don\u2019t seem to be fully synced with Gmail although the \u201cManage Contacts\u201d link goes right away to the Gmail contacts.<\/p>\n<p>What can you do with GWave?
