How to add Twitter to your Google Wave Account : Tweeting from Tweety the Twitbot

Last month there was a very much hype about the Google Wave as google started giving invitees to selected users starting September 31. It started by giving 1 millions invitees. Unfortunately I was not the one to get one of those. :( neither I had applied for the invitee. But last month due to hype and my friends talking about it and exchanging invitees, me got somewhat interested in it. So I applied for it from the google Wave applications form. After a week or so I got it with 20 invitee as giveaways. Coool. :)

Now I started doing experiments and playing with it. One of them is How to Integrate your Twitter with Google Wave.
Its easy.

  • Step 1: Add tweety-wave@appspot.com to your contacts.
  • Step 2: After adding create a new wave and add Tweety the Twitbot to that wave as a standalone user.
  • Step 3: Now a Pop-Up will be there, its an authentication pop-up which takes in your Twitter credentials for accessing and writing your Tweets. You must allow this pop-up to run Tweety.
  • Step 4: Click done in that blip (message) and now you can tweet from your Google Wave account by writing something and pressing the Update button. Twitter Wave.

Watch this short video about the whole thing.

Update: Currently Tweety will not update your tweets real-time (dynamic) in your wave as its still in the development stage.
I will soon be posting some more extensions and apps for google wave as I play with it. The Next generation collaboration tool.

    Some nice peace of information here, I have a Google wave account but it is almost dead, still not know its actual use, integrating wave with twitter will definitely help to bring some life on my wave account.

    This is my first visit on your blog, never knew that you have a blog also, I found your blog useful in many ways. Keep going.

    Best regards.

      Thanks for nice words Himanshu.
      Yes Tweety add some life to your wave account but it has some limitations which I have mentioned in the Update of this same post.
      Yes I do blog but not so frequently.
      I have other websites to manage also and a job as well so get some time only on weekends.
      Keep in touch.
