  Note: It's not really an invite as such you don't receive an account immediately. Its more of a suggestion/request/nomination that I make to google Quote:

			I've got it, but I don't really use it.  Seems fun enough, but I'm struggling to find an everyday use for it so far.

			About the only thing I think i´d use it for is school, me and some of my classmates can(in theory) more easily collaborate on some of the papers we have to turn in as a group.

			Not sure I'm going to use it much - but maybe would be nice for MR members to chat together?

			Watching the video - the context sensitive spell checker looks like it might be a really useful proofing tool. The demo showed it correcting 'been soup' to 'bean soup'. It should pick up OCR errors like 'lie' for 'he'.   |

			There's another video of on-the-fly translation, which floored me.  I can't seem to locate it at the moment, but it shows just how advanced machine translation has come in a very short timespan.
