I first heard about wave on twitter, and it it hardly surprising that there are a number of attempts to integrate the two platforms. Here I will take a look at two bots used to access twitter from Google Wave: WaveTweets and TweetyWave.

Both of these bots work in a very similar way, displaying your twitter feed, with each tweet appearing as a separate blip in the wave. They both also suffer the problem that all the participants within the wave are able to tweet on behalf of the person that logged into the bots.

The only difference I have seen between the two of these is the fact that TweetyWave makes it very hard to tell who a tweet is coming from, while wavetweets adds the name of the person it is from.

I really would not recommend either of these bots for use with twitter, unless you feel that you have to do absolutely everything from within wave… I am sure that somebody will write a better twitter client for wave, until then, I am sticking with TweetDeck.
