Adding a Google Wave to Blogger blog

Google wave is out now and people are trying it. I am one of them and I came across a useful robot which help us to publish a wave to blogger. Its name is Madoqua Wave Bot(blog-bot@appspot.com). Add it to your wave account and follow these simple steps:

1. Create a new wave or add Madoqua to an existing wave. It will give you the javascript code which will be in two parts.
2. use the first part as an element or embed that in your blog post by editing HTML, like I have.
3. For the second part, go to layout tab and choose edit HTML, paste that code inside your blogger template. But where to paste it? Search for /body in your template and paste the second part just before that.
4. Looks like all is done

Thanks for reading.

How to access twitter from google wave

There's a cool little google wave Twitter client(plugin) I know of is called Tweety the Twitbot. Today, I’ve also seen it called Twave, though the application itself still doesn’t seem to use that name.

I used Tweety in the Google Wave sandbox preview and completely forgot how I added it back then. So I did some searching and came across a tweet from @oplura explaining that getting Tweety going is as easy as adding a contact. So let’s do it, with pictures.

Go to your contacts window and click the + sign at the bottom to add a new contact:

Enter this address:

tweety-wave@appspot.com

Now make a new wave. Click the + symbol to add a new participant to it. Add Tweety:
Next you’ll get an authenticating message:
A new window will open to connect Wave to your Twitter account:
After you sign in successfully, you’ll get a message confirming this, and then the window will close.

Back in your wave, push the “Done” button if you’re still seeing the authentication message.

When to use Google Wave

There are tons of ways to use Google Wave--here are just a few examples to get you thinking and an overview video that shows Google Wave in action.


Organizing events

Keep a single copy of ideas, suggested itinerary, menu and RSVPs, rather than using many different tools. Use gadgets to add weather, maps and more to the event.




Meeting notes

Prepare a meeting agenda together, share the burden of taking notes and record decisions so you all leave on the same page (we call it being on the same wave). Team members can follow the minutes in real time, or review the history using Playback. The conversation can continue in the wave long after the meeting is over.




Group reports and writing projects

Collaboratively work in real time to draft content, discuss and solicit feedback all in one place rather than sending email attachments and creating multiple copies that get out of sync.



Brainstorming

Bring lots of people into a wave to brainstorm - live concurrent editing makes the quantity of ideas grow quickly! It is easy to add rich content like videos, images, URLs or even links to other waves. Discussion ensues. Etiquettes form. Then work together to distill down to the good ideas.




Photo sharing

Drag and drop photos from your desktop into a wave. Share with others. Use the slideshow viewer. Everyone on the wave can add their photos, too. It is easy to make a group photo album in Google Wave.

5 Ways to get google wave invite

Google wave is a new buzzword and lots of people are looking for an invite. There are couple of ways by which one can get google wave invite. Google Wave is "a personal communication and collaboration tool" announced by Google at the Google I/O conference on May 27, 2009.[ is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. It has a strong collaborative and real-time[4] focus supported by extensions that can provide, for example, robust spelling/grammar checking, automated translation between 40 languages, and numerous other extensions. Initially released only to developers, a "preview release" of Google Wave has been extended to about 100,000 users on September 30, 2009. I'm going to discuss few of them in my blog:

1. Signup at Google : Yes, they are still open. But, the problem here is that you will get the invite in next slot.And it may take time.
2. Register At googlewaveinvites : They are working as medium to distribute invites evenly. I've signed up there but still I'm waiting for an invite. So I'm not sure how long it takes.
3. Ask someone who has google wave account.I got my wave account by this way.
   
4. Search twitter
5. Kidnap Larry Page and ask an account in ransom :D
