Go Wave!

Few weeks ago Google made wave publicly available, means that everyone who has Gmail account can login to wave! Google had also announced that wave will be open for Google Apps account users. But there was no clue about how to enable it. I myself digged through Google Apps admin interface after that announcement for no luck. But now, you can easily enable Google wave on your Google Apps account.

Just login to Google Apps admin dashboard & click on “Add more services”. You will see something like above screenshot, just click on “Add it now” and you are good to go! Just hit https://wave.google.com/a/YourDomainName in your browser to start using wave with your Google Apps account.

Public waves are accessible by anyone who is having a Google wave account. Wave user can search for public waves by using keyword “with:public” in the search box.

Waves are private by default, only the participants can have access to the wave. To make a wave public, user has to add public@a.gwave.com as participant to that wave. But one can’t add public@a.gwave.com as participant directly since it says “public@a.gwave.com is not a Google Wave account”. So, first add this wave id to your contact list, it will show the same message again, ignore that message & hit “Enter” key to add.

Now, since public@a.gwave.com is in your contact list, you can easily add it to any wave as participant. Once it is added, your wave goes “Public”!!
