Playing with Google Wave

I logged into Google Wave for the first time tonight. Right now, I’m playing with bots and stuff. Hopefully, if you have an account and are signed into the Wave, you’ll see the embedded Wave below. Well, I see it anyway.

I have been having fun playing with the Wave. Initial, total noob thoughts are “Omgomgomgomg this is so cool!” followed by “Woah, do NOT look at the public waves without a stiff drink handy.”

I had to do some Googling to try and figure out how certain things worked (like the blog bot) and whether or not I’m able to invite people (I’m not, btw. I was a nominee, not one of the original 100k.) I decided not to dip my toes in the public waves until I’ve read up on proper Wave etiquette (ie. do NOT add a bot to a public Wave or risk the wrath, man.) But until I get up the nerve to play in public, I’m enjoying what I can do all by my lonesome. I plan to spend the weekend learning all I can, and when I go back to work next week, I’m going to blow my newsroom away.

On with the embedded Wave! Again, I’m afraid right now you must be logged in to Google Wave to see the one I embedded below. Hopefully that will change once things are more stable.
