The purpose of the Wave invites is so that they can fix scaling issues as they arise. Wait until its out of its limited technology preview status before you pass judgement on how it was launched.

You have a good point, but it does not negate the Author's point that wave requires people that you can collaborate with.
If they wanted to go with this limited technology preview, I suspect the launch would have gone much more smoothly if people who got the initial invites had the ability to invite (a limited number) others in their group. That way the people they did want to collaborate with would be on wave.
Also, I think the author has a good point with how Buzz was released. I use social networking (facebook), but I use it cautiously. I may have ended up using Buzz, but I would have been much happier if it had been opt in. As it is, I can't even find a good way to entirely opt out.
