Here in no particular order are the winners of the Google Wave nomination giveaway. Winners will be nominated by me today and will receive their Google Wave invitations from Google. In my experience it usually takes a few days for an invitation to arrive.

Congrats to all the winners. 

Courtney Fifer

as a founding member of Flathead Valley Geocachers, I'd like to be able to connect all of our members to share ideas, photos, be able to share images for pathtags and geocoins, organize events and get help finding and hiding caches. On a personal level, since I live so far away from most of my family, I think google wave would be a great way to communicate with each other and share info, talk and whatnot in ways we can't on Facebook or email.

Thomas Huxley

I work for the local TV station here on Norfolk Island, TVNI. I think it'd be great for me to get in contact with my co-workers to approve media to put on the telly and organize what we are up to as we don't work in the same building. We both have busy schedules so it needs to be quick and instant and cheaper than a phone call.

Sean Staley

I am a current computer science student at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. I would love to have a Google Wave account for many different reason. I would mostly like to use it to communicate with my computer science classmates instantaneously. The idea of sharing, developing, and debugging Java/C code would be so much easier if we were to communicate through Google Wave. I would also like to keep in touch with family at a faster pace. My family is very technology savvy and would like to chat with more ease. Thank you so much for your consideration and this opportunity!

Maylyn

I am an instructional designer in a vocational college (ITE) in Singapore. I would like to explore Googlewave for our integrated learning application that combines library readings/search, blogs, video annotations and community of practice for both students and lecturers. Since all our 10 campuses are distributed at different parts of the country, Googlewave would be a fantastic platform to connect us real time.

Perry Zheng

I am a senior at Duke University majoring in computer science and mathematics. I worked in the computer science department over the software as a research intern. My acquaintance with Google wave dated all the back - I was at work one day and I saw the video on Google Wave. I spent the rest of day mesmerizing how much it'd change the world. I would like to be part of the excitement and help make it one of the truly social networks of our time!
