Examining Google+ as it Grows

Twitter on Wave

Posted by Cathie on Oct 14, 2009 in Post | 0 comments

I should preface this post with an introduction.

I’m Cathie and I am the “bloody end user” component of this blogging team.  We figured that if Wave is going to be the ubiquitous thing that Google envisages, it will have to be workable by everyone – not just the more “savvy” of those amongst us.

So what I’ll be doing is coming at Wave from my perspective – perhaps not such a big picture view – but a fingers on keyboard aspect.

Okay … so one of the first things I looked for once I had my Wave account was a Twitter interface thingamabobby!

I found two – the first was clunky and ugly – but the second works a treat.  It’s by TwitterGadget.com

To set it up …

Open a new wave, and click on the green blobby thing which allows you to add a gadget by url and paste the following url.

http://www.twittergadget.com/gadget_gmail.xml

This will then take you through to Twitter to allow access – and then this tidy little interface appears in your wave!
