When I started First Waves I wanted to keep my readers up to date with Google Wave news and keep on top of changes and updates as they happen. However, looking around the net I soon found many sites that already do a great job of keeping up with Wave news, and I hate the idea of rehashing the same stuff my readers could get at any number of excellent sites. So instead I have started to concentrate on larger news and “future direction” stuff here at First Waves, and I hope my readers are OK with the focus.
But I realise that many people do want up-to-the minute Wave information, so I’m going to lay out the sites and people I follow, and if you’re a hardcore Wave nut, you might like to follow them too. These people all have my utmost respect and admiration for their writing and dedication to Wave. I’ve included these sites in a Google Reader bundle called Best Google Wave Sites. If you trust my judgement, you can use the bundle to subscribe to all twenty-two feeds in just a couple of clicks! If you’d like to know more about the sites though, read on!
We have begun testing remove participant internally and hopefully it will hit externally within a month
Lars Rasmussen, one of the lead Wave developers.
In a Wave entitled “Google Wave User Black List”, Lars piped up to offer advice on the best way to avoid and take action against known trolls and abusers and offered the above titbit about the imminent release of the ability to remove participants from Wave.
Set suitable expectations. Despite the months of buzz, and blogosphere– and Twitterverse-wide clamoring for Google Wave invites, the product is still in preview and has some rough edges. Therefore, it does all parties good to be realistic, even if everybody is psyched to be the first kid on their block to use it on a live project.
This is the first of six excellent things to keep in mind when using Wave for the first time, let alone on a project. Wave is full of potential, but people seem to forget it’s still just getting off the ground.
I love that people are using it for projects already.

You can spend ages getting used to Wave and what it can do, and still not learn the best way. Fernando Fonseca has jotted down five things that he recommends you do when you first fire up wave, to help you break in.

Gina Trapani, Adam Pash and the Wave community have put together a short ebook on Google Wave. I’m certain as Wave becomes more complex and useful, this guide will grow and change to match. Gina and Adam are two of the cleverest technology writers on the web today, and their book is set to become one of the most authoritative documents on Google Wave.

One thing I’ve been wondering is how we’ll get the chance to invite more people to Wave. I was one of the lucky ones who got in on the first round, and had invites to share, but those I’ve invited haven’t been so lucky. Currently my invite counter is sitting at “00” too.
As soon as we’re confident that the system can accept more users, we will add a wave to your account that allows you to nominate friends and colleagues for an account. Once you have the capability to invite people, the wave appear in your inbox.

Gina Trapani gives an overview of the things you absolutely MUST know as you dive into Google Wave
A short “Google Wave for Dummies” type clip that highlights a tiny but important fraction of what Google Wave can do. A great introduction for the non-technical (and the technical!)

A very straight-forward introduction to the slightly confusing Wave terminology.
