Google Wave is not being used to crush any social site at all. Google actually wants to work with companies such as Twitter. This was previewed on G4tv just this evening with an interview. They want to work with developers who can use Twitter + Google through Wave and other sorts of social networking.
100k Wave invites + 8 invites allowed for those invited by Google. Though if you get invited by someone who got invited by Google Wave, you don't get 8 invites.

These invites are already on ebay. I remember back when gmail was through invites only. They were doing the same on ebay. I forget if I paid for mine or if I got it from someone else.
Google stuff only appeal to google fanboy's... really. google wave will be just like google talk, google chrome, google411, googlevoice, etc... all used by google followers. which are not the same as regular surfers who use google.com for search.
myspace, facebook, twitter, etc are fun non-corporate started sites... a regular joe blow, knows more what his peers would like and develop a bad a$s site, over a corporate company that just throws money and there name on a site.
