A better way is to have separate e-mail address for registration confirmations, invite and other unimportant stuff, which you check only after registering somewhere / resetting password using Lost Password / asking for a invite / etc.
I have no problems with spam anymore. I spent a year of being bombarded by huge loads of spam, and it thankfully stopped about 6 months ago, having added about a million email addresses to the block list using the mark as spam button
One of your default waves contains the invites. I think it's the "Invite your friends" one. I have just opened Google Waves for the first time and I have got 8 invites.
I'm trying to use it as a collaborative tool for writing songs.
My band can only really get together once a week to rehearse so we've taken to emailing tracks to eachother and it gets difficult knowing who's got what songs and which parts, and following a conversation about them is just impossible. Plus as new people pipe in with new ideas to old conversations the threading often gets broken so the old discussion is basically lost.
With Wave I can set up a wave about each tune we're working on, everybody can contribute to it, download the tune in question, link to any parts they've added or changes they've made, add score or chord charts, lyrics, melodies and vocal harmony ideas and so on. And if anyone does it in a messy way that makes the document difficult to understand, someone obsessive like me can tidy it up.
We've only just started with the process and currently it's just me and the brass players but it's definitely working out easier and more productive than using email.
