Google Wave WaveThis Extension & Button

Today, Google Wave announced WaveThis, a way that allows you to create a discussion in Wave from a webpage you’ve visited.

They’ve offered a few ways to do this.

The first way is to install the WaveThis extension for your Google Chrome browser. This adds a WaveThis button you can click on at anytime to create a discussion with your friends in Google Wave.

The second way is to add a WaveThis bookmarklet to your Chrome, Firefox, or Safari browser. Simply drag the following link to your browser’s bookmarks bar: WaveThis.

Then, click this button from your bookmarks whenever you want to create a conversation in Wave about the webpage you are visiting.

Webmasters and bloggers can also take advantage of WaveThis. They can add a WaveThis button (such as the one to the left of this post) to their webpages or blog posts that allow any visitors to click that button and share and discuss the website with friends or coworkers in Wave.
