In honour of a couple of Wave extensions that allow wave-to-email collaboration, I thought I’d try something light-hearted instead of my usual wordy post. Mr-Ray is a bot/gadget combo from wave.to, that lets you add people to a wave by their email address, and they get sent a stripped back version of the wave that they can use to collaborate with you, without having to figure out and navigate the full-blown Wave interface. Embedded below is an example of the interface the email user sees. Please note, this isn’t the way the developers recommend using Mr-Ray — the address should be kept secret to avoid people posing as you. In this case, I KNOW it’s not me!
I’ve got a short holiday thanks to Easter, so I’ll leave this up until Wednesday to get to know my readers and give the non-wavers a chance to see a little bit how it works. I’ll check back regularly to reply so you come back too! If you’re already on wave and want to reply as you, contact me at nunn.joshua@googlewave.com and I’ll add you directly.
Updated: Added static view of the wave for reference.
I’m naive and don’t quite understand how this works :P Then again, I’m fair slow this time of morning >_>
I’ve added you manually so you can use your wave account. I’ve embedded a facsimile of a wave into this post so people who haven’t got Wave can see kinda how it works. They hit “reply” and leave a message — but it leaves the message as me. It uses a bot called Mr-Ray. Of course anyone without a wave account misses all the other cool features that Wave has, but it’s a reasonable way to introduce people who’ve never used it.
Ah, thats a pretty cool idea actually! I like it.
So say hello in the wave already!
