Google wave goes public today! No invites required! Today Google has announced it on Google Wave Official blog. Fact is that, many of the users who were already there on wave have stopped using it. We need to wait and see if going public makes any difference to it. It also decides future of this blog!

When I started the blog, I created a form to submit Gadgets & Robots to review. I was regularly checking that spreadsheet & nothing was submitted in initial days. Gradually I stopped looking into it. Today I opened it after a long time & surprised to see so many review requests. I’m really sorry for this, I have now set email notification for each submission. So, I won’t missout on any submission from now on.

If you are one of those who submitted Gadget/Robot for review, expect a review within a week.

If you are active on Google wave, very soon your wave inbox get cluttered. To help organize your inbox & to get rid of unwanted waves, Google has added “Unfollow” button. Just click “Unfollow” button to get rid of a wave from inbox. You can still access these waves by searching from the “Search waves”. You might be wondering how different “Unfollow” is different from “Archive”. Well, when a wave is archived, it appears back in inbox whenever there’s something new in it. User will be automatically following a wave if it is sent to you by your friend, basically a private wave. But, if you want a public wave to appear in your inbox, you have to follow it by clicking “Follow” button. To select multiple waves use “Shift” key & you can Archive, Unfollow, Spam, Mark as Read/Unread…etc

Just few minutes back, this tweet showed up on Google Wave’s official twitter channel. According to this tweet Google Wave team will be sending our more invites on daily basis to those who requested for one. If you haven’t requested for an invite yet, request it over here. And keep checking your inbox!

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.
