No invite for Google Wave? Check out all-in-one Threadsy

A TechCrunch 50 finalist, Threadsy is a compelling way to consolidate communication. I’ve been using Threadsy for the past week instead of GMail and the results have been impressive. Here is how Threadsy might make your life easier.
Inbound
In the left pane, email is displayed along with @me Twitters and Facebook messages. The idea is to have only the stuff that was specifically directed to you be in your inbox. You can choose to view all of this or just the incoming mail from individual providers (like just Twitter). Users can search through messages and this search was surprisingly fast. Emails can be composed as either quick replies right from this screen or open and reply seeing the full message.
Unbound
In the right pane (which users can control its width), are the streams you follow from Twitter and Facebook. As with the Inbound pane, you can choose to filter just Facebook or Twitter streams or view them all. Another tab on top allows you to access GMail chat, which is very handy.
Impression
I really dig this web app. Bringing all this together enriches the experience and should make communication better. Neatest trick: open an email and Threadsy shows you their latest Tweets, latest Facebook status and bio; pretty slick. This is the application I’ve been looking for.
Overall, Threadsy was speedy and didn’t have too many problems. Keep in mind, this thing just went live last month, so there are some kinks. Things like sometimes emails I deleted would show up again, the feed from Facebook would show status updates with the incorrect time (making them seem like they were new), new chat messages don’t alert you very well that a reply is expected and the program sometimes felt sluggish. There are some quirks, to be sure, but the app has enough things going for it to overlook these for now.
Will I keep using Threadsy? Heck yes. Bringing together all these streams of communications is awesome. While I too can’t wait to see what Google Wave has up its sleeve, Threadsy has a lot of great features going for it and it is only getting better. The company is currently in a private beta but invites seem to be steadily flowing out. So sign up to get an invite and check it out.

I got mine from http://www.google-wave-invites.com, you can try this place but I cant guarantee you any invite as it is really difficult these days. But if keep monitoring places like this site, someone might put an invite and you have to grab it quickly before others. That is what I did and my luck helped to get google wave account. thanks everyone :D
