On the sandbox account we were able to see status of a buddy with the help of a little green dot. Google pulled this feature off on the Google Wave preview since it caused them some problems. Now, it’s back on the Google Wave preview also!! So now you can know who is online & start waving with them.

That lack of notification was a big missing. I’m glad to see it back.
The little green dot seems to be broken, in that it does not show up when contacts are online, even when you are chatting to them realtime. Is there a fix for this, or is the green dot being debugged still?

We will have to wait till Google wave team fixes it.
Yeah the little green dot only works for me (and I know when I am online) no other contact has the green dot yet. But it’s beta so not complaining. Just letting people know if confused.
