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 [...]

GTD and Google Wave
January 26th, 2010
2 Comments
I am a big believer in the Getting Things Done methodology of staying organised, and of course, I seek to understand how it can be used with Google Wave.
Getting Things Done (GTD for short) was created by David Allen, in his book entitled, unsurprisingly, Getting Things Done.
The central idea of GTD is that everything that catches [...]
Wave in 2010

So, after my previous post, examining how wave did in 2009, what can we expect from Google Wave in 2010?
The biggest thing that we can expect this year is the release of Google Wave to the public, which Google has implied will happen sometime this year. The very announcement implies that they expect to have [...]
Google Wave Invitation Sales

While investigating a site that made a trackback to me (which will not be mentioned here for reasons that will shortly become obvious), I saw that it was offering Google Wave invitations for sale. (The price was $4.88, in case any of you are wondering).
They did put in a lot of effort into appearing genuine, [...]
Looking Back

Well, it is the end of the year now, as the more observant of my readers may have noticed. As is the tradition, we can now take the time to reflect about how Google Wave has changed over the past year. Due to the fact that it only really launched recently, this should be a [...]
Google in Psychology

Google Wave could see use in psychology and coaching, although I am not aware of anybody doing this at the moment. If anybody is doing it, such waves would be private for obvious reasons. I am not a psychologist, but I have given some thought about how Google Wave could be use by various counselling professions.
While there [...]
All Quiet on the Wave Front

Yes, I know that I deserve to be shot for the many puns contained in that short title, but I just could not resist.
I have noticed for the past week or so, that wave has been a lot quieter, while my inbox used to be full, now there are just a couple of updates a day. [...]
Wave Spam

Today, I have seen two instances of wave spam, in a single day. One was in a public thread that I am subscribed to, in which somebody simply added a blip saying: “I wrote an article about google wave… Go see it at http://*****”… I consider it spam, since he did not even say anything [...]
The Google Wave API
December 10th, 2009

As many of you know, Google Wave has an API that enterprising developers can use to create their own bots and extensions. I have recently started playing around with it, so here is my short introduction to it.
At the time of this writing, the Google Wave API is supported only for Java and Python. Google [...]
The Death of Instant Messaging
December 8th, 2009
4 Comments
An observation in an earlier article got me to thinking about how Wave stacks up against more traditional Instant Messaging applications.
Wave is more immediate that traditional Instant Messaging, since seeing somebody typing in real time allows me to see what they are saying before they complete the full sentence. Of course, this could lead to problems as [...]
