When I got Google wave’s sandbox access in August I show you how to write Google Wave Robot. At that time Google wave was open only for the developers and hence not much “wave” around the people. But since Google opened wave’s invite for the normal users, everyone is talking about wave.
I am sure Google’s marketing team must be pretty clever to suggest such an invite only model to start with any newly launched application. On the other hand, its also the best way to control number of user access when your product is in beta. All of us know that Google’s many products were in beta for 5 years, hence you cannot predict how long Google wave is going to be in beta.
Well lets not get into Google’s strategies and products, and let me show you how you can tweet from your shiny Google Wave account.
Step 1: Add a new contact called tweety-wave@appspot.com as shown below.You will see a new contact with display name Tweety the Twitbot.
Step 2: Create a new wave with this new contact and It will ask for authentication using a popup window. Make sure popups are not blocked or will have to allow them explicitly so that Twitter’s authentication window can authenticate your Google wave account to update your status on twitter. Here is how the popup and your new wave look like.
After authenticating all your twitter updates are shown in that wave and you can even update your status from then & there – Sweet ?
Hope you like this and enjoy tweeting from Googlewave.
Stay Digified !!

Brother, I want one Invitation… Can you send me?? I just want to give a Try! Normal one is enough!
great tutorial..!! can you even tell me how to get our account validated for google wave? it says “Your Google Account has
not yet been activated for Google Wave.”
what are you trying to do ? And when do you get this error ?
went on google wave homepage (http://wave.google.com/help/wave/closed.html).. and it showed me this error:
“Your Google Account has not yet been activated for Google Wave.”
this error occurs when you have not been invited..

Hi Sachin, thanks very much for the tutorial… everything’s going great except, after the first bunch of twitter updates, I haven’t gotten new ones and I’m not sure how to ‘pull them in’ to the wave… any thoughts?
Best wishes,
Joshua
Tweet can also be sent from TwitterGadget in GoogleWave
Step 1: Create a new private wave.
Step 2: Click on the “Add Gadgets by URL” and enter the values as “http://www.twittergadget.com/gadget_gmail.xml”
Happy Waving
and thanks for the invite @realin sir
yeah but that doesnt authenticate your account using OAUTH, so that means you never know where your password is being used (if in case).
Hi Sachin,
Nice post. Well I was thinking if I can get a wave invite from you. Would really love to give it a try. I feel that been such a big tech enthusiast yourself you would understand my position. Look forward to the invite to pronojitsaha@gmail.com.
Thanks.
