Find Local Waves

In Post on 2009-11-10 by Joshua Tagged: , , ,

By now if you’ve been using Wave long enough you should know that a search for [with:public] gets you a big long fast updat­ing list of all the Waves that peo­ple have shared with the world. If you’ve been read­ing the Com­plete Guide to Google Wave you might know to nar­row down the search with tags and terms too.

But were you aware that Local Waves have popped up every­where as well, and you can find users near you just by plug­ging your city/suburb into the search (with the pub­lic wave search) eg. [with:public city name]. If you can’t imme­di­ately find a Wave for your loca­tion, you can start one! Just cre­ate a crafty title, and make the Wave pub­lic. Encour­age peo­ple who join to mark them­selves on a map, and shout out their Twitter/social details for peo­ple to con­nect elsewhere.

Have a tonne of fun, and stay safe!

Crazy Crossbreed”

Wave feels like some crazy cross­breed of Docs, Gmail, and IM, but I over­all I find that refresh­ing more than troubling.
