In honour of a couple of Wave extensions that allow wave-to-email collaboration, I thought I’d try something light-hearted instead of my usual wordy post. Mr-Ray is a bot/gadget combo from wave.to, that lets you add people to a wave by their email address, and they get sent a stripped back version of the wave that they can use to collaborate with you, without having to figure out and navigate the full-blown Wave interface. Embedded below is an example of the interface the email user sees. Please note, this isn’t the way the developers recommend using Mr-Ray – the address should be kept secret to avoid people posing as you. In this case, I KNOW it’s not me!

I’ve got a short holiday thanks to Easter, so I’ll leave this up until Wednesday to get to know my readers and give the non-wavers a chance to see a little bit how it works. I’ll check back regularly to reply so you come back too! If you’re already on wave and want to reply as you, contact me at nunn.joshua@googlewave.com and I’ll add you directly.

Want to share a public wave with someone who hasn’t jumped on the Wave bandwagon? Need to publish a Wave in a way that keeps it safe from editors and wanna-be trolls? How ’bout this Wave Reader that takes a wave and displays it as a web page without the reader needing an account.

Use this plugin to embed a wave into a wordpress post, as easy as [wave id=�wave-id�].

jWave is a jQuery plug-in that you can use to easily embed a Google Wave into your website with the grace and simplicity of jQuery.

This jQuery plugin was one of the first community made additions on the Google Wave API page.

You’ve reached a page that contains content from Google Wave. We’re currently in a developer preview with a limited number of users. If you have an account please log in at wavesandbox.com.

The problem with embedding waves in blogs – no one can read them if the service goes down or won’t allow you access. Better would be to have the wave actually publish content to your database. Then a WordPress plugin that takes comments written and puts them back into your wave stream would be necessary. Better would be blog software written on the Wave Protocol.
