A case study in how you leverage community on Twitter,  Google Wave has been overpowering the Twittisphere with requests for Google Wave invites.  I’ve highlighted some of the outrageous, funny and sarcastic tweets.   Below is a thumbnail sketch of went went on during the last 24 hours: 

The Shocking:

Some people will do anything to get into the best restaurant, a popular club, tickets for the Superbowl, or apparently a Google Wave invite.

The Hilarious

Sarcastic, witty and downright insightful.

Google Wave Pacts

Taking a page out of the Survivor papaya play book, these enterprising individuals are taking the quid pro quo route. 

The Disappointed

Call a therapist please.

Those with Capitalist Motives

Nothing like scarcity to create demand and our capitalistic impulses.  

The Wishful

Let’s hope someone takes pity on the despondent.

From the Beat Them When they’re Down Department

Delusional?

Yes, Google Wave will solve all of the world’s problems. 

Completely out of Touch

I think we need to help them out from under the rock they’ve been hiding. 

@mttgamer – Appears to be the Harry Potter of Google Wave – magically creating Wave invites at will.
