How do I add Twitter to Google Wave? Easy!

Yes, the Google Wave invites are going out. If you haven’t got one, request @why_tweat and we’ll send you one. All logged in now? Time to start tweeting from Google Wave. Here is how:

We used Tweety in the Google Wave sandbox preview and it works just fine. Perfect for all you new Google Wave users. If you need a manual, you can find it on our site, whytwitter.

So let’s do it, with pictures.

Go to your contacts window and click the + sign at the bottom to add a new contact:

Enter this address:

tweety-wave@appspot.com

Now make a new wave. Click the + symbol to add a new participant to it. Add Tweety:

Next you’ll get an authenticating message:

A new window will open to connect Wave to your Twitter account:

After you sign in successfully, you’ll get a message confirming this, and then the window will close.

Back in your wave, push the “Done” button if you’re still seeing the authentication message. Then you will see this:

Enter your tweet into the top box (first arrow in the screenshot) and push update to send. Keep in mind that it won’t count down the 140 characters. If you go over 140 characters, Google Wave won’t warn you.

Below the tweet box, you’ll see tweets from others (second, lower arrow in the screenshot). You might try reloading the page, if it looks like the names of those tweeting aren’t showing up correctly.

Happy tweeting within Google Wave. Comments welcome and please re-tweet at @why_tweat
