If you have a Google Wave account (and you’re like me), you’re obsessed with the app. I’ve been looking for something that I can use to alert me when new waves come in, without having to be glued to the browser. Firefox has solved this issue for me.
They have a Google Wave Add-on that stores your account information and allows you to set how often you want Firefox to check your inbox. When you have a Firefox window open a little Wave icon will show up in the lower right corner of the screen. If a new wave arrives in your inbox, a number will show up next to the Wave icon indicating the number of new waves in your inbox. Genius! Now I don’t have to have Google Wave minimized all day while I’m working on other things.
I recommend downloading the add-on. You’ll be happy you did.
Tuesday morning Waveboard (a Google Wave client) became available for iPhone. Around mid-October the Waveboard crew announced they would be submitting an iPhone app to iTunes that would run Google Wave. Since then I’ve been tracking Waveboard’s movements, hoping the app would soon become available.
About me, hmmm, where to start. Ok, my interest in technology, internet, and website design all started when AOL first launched as an ISP. This was the beginning of the internet craze.
