Google Wave Tips and Tricks, Twitter

Wave Tips and Tricks was started by Sam Davyson

Find the wave here

The first 7 tips posted are below:

1. Mark read waves as read.

This keeps your inbox clearer and makes updated waves stand out. If you tab through a whole wave stopping at each blip – it will mark it as read automatically but more often than not you just use the scroll bar and glance down. When you’ve read the wave, click “Mark as Read” in the toolbar above.

2. SHIFT + ENTER is a great keyboard shortcut.

This will either start a reply if you are reading a wave or submit your reply (like pressing done) if you are typing your reply.

3. CTRL + E for editing.

This is CTRL + E on OS X too (not CMD).

4. Making a wave public.

Add “public@a.gwave.com” to the wave to make a wave public. Current bugs means this contact constantly deletes itself.

5. Linking to another wave.

The easiest way to link to another wave is to drag it from the main waves pane. Eg. Here’s a wave about Embedding a Wave.

6. CTRL – CLICK to open a wave while keeping the current one open

On OS X you need to use CMD for this to avoid the dropdown menu appearing.

7. Windows can be minimised, and maximised and restored

Another method of having multiple waves open is to minimise one, open another and restore the original. If you minimise the wave list you can have two waves side by side.

Google Wave: Thoughts after an hour of testing

cinta5 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 05:38:06 +0000

I was fortunate enough to be 1 of the 100,000. Here’s what I took away from an hour of testing Google Wave.

Gadgets are fun, but the Extensions are going to be where it’s at.

Right now “settings” is under construction, so I wasn’t allowed to add extensions. But to see demos of a few, check out http://wave.google.com/help/wave/extensions.html One of the featured extensions on that link is conference calling within the wave.

Playback is awesome.

Basically, the wave keeps track of when something was added or removed. Playback allows you to see when this was done.

Google Wave will be great for collaborating and brainstorming.

It was kind of weird being able to see Jesse type something and then hit backspace to change whatever he was typing, but I guess that’s real time for ya. Brainstorming using Google Wave is going to be awesome. I’m sure there will be extensions that will enhance this.

That’s about all I have for now, started to get tired. Let me know if you run into anything while testing that’s cool!
