Tweet from Google Wave


Google Wave - Tweety the TwitbotThough Google Wave is primarily a tool for Communication & Collaboration, extensions can add fun to it. Basically, you get “Yes/No/May be” and “Maps”, you can add more through the  ‘Extensions Gallery’ wave.

Tweety the Twitbot is here to help us directly tweet from Google Wave (not the usual yellow canary in Warner Bros animated series ;-) ) Before you proceed, you’ll have to add Tweety to your contacts so that you can open a wave session with it to send your tweets.

To add Tweety, click the ‘+’ button in the contacts box (bottom right) and key in the email – tweety-wave@appspot.com and click ‘Submit’.
