It will be useful when folks I want to use it with actually have an account. We shall see.

Google Wave is a collaborative software suite with a by-invitation-only beta and a very limited user base at the moment. Which is to say, Google has shot itself in the foot with this one.
Once everyone can use it, then the jury may render a verdict on its utility. Until then, I'm going to pass, I think.

It's beta. Expect nothing. It's definitely lacking in some areas. It's definitely innovative in others. I find myself constantly comparing its various parts to email, IM, IRC, and phpBB forums. If I could merge together many different communications media like that into one open, federated protocol, I'm all for it. It's also aiming at Google Docs and blog comment applications.
Once it's better established, I'll run it on my own domain.
And since it's Google, of course its the best thing ever, until they unleash the next best thing ever.

That is what I am thinking, I am going to pass. thanks, mike
If you asked in private I've confirmed your nomination in private. If you asked in public, this message is to confirm I've invited: r.j.mote reachmajor xmin0s chillyweasel nairbemail darylvf
Asked before 12:27 Central time and don't see yourself in that list? Ask again. 5 invites remain.

And they're gone. For those who are not aware already, the invite system works by "nominating" people, not directly inviting them. I'm not sure if it is publicly known what happens between nomination and you actually getting the invite or why they have that step at all. It was a day or two between when I was nominated and when I got my invite. I don't know if they rate-limit or bump up people that get nominated multiple times.
When you get your invite, it will look like the forwarded message below. The signup is pretty straight forward.
After you've had your account for some period of time, or sent some number of blips (the wave equivalent of an IM, or EMail, or /msg), a new wave will show up in your inbox, with the subject "Invite others to Google Wave", with a widget that allows you to do just that. Check this thread for people wanting wave invites after 2009-10-27 04:00 Central, to pick up where I left off.

Googlewave preview
Billy Crook has invited you to preview Google Wave!
Google Wave is a new online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using text, photos, videos, maps, and more. Learn more at wave.google.com.
This is still an early preview of Google Wave, so you may run into some bumps along the way but we look forward to your feedback.
I actually just watched this video, and it is was a good suggestion to watch it.
Eventually I would hope to see the fall of email and rise of Google Wave.
At first I was thinking that there would be no way that many companies would trust their collaborative data on the google servers. But they have open protocols and it seems like a open source server so people could host their own Wave system.

Don't cheat people; the government doesn't want the competition.
I imagine it's to build a better influence and social network graph (or perhaps to make selling invites harder). This way you can be nominated multiple times and the data would link you. Once you go down the web traffic analysis path, you discover it goes pretty far and takes you to strange places like this.
