Google has launched a new set of tools to increase user interaction with Google Wave. Among the tools are a "WaveThis" button, a "WaveThis" bookmarket and a chrome extension.
Google Wave was introduced last year, and a lot of hype was built up around it. Very few people actually had access to it for a while, but eventually more and more people got invites, but many were still unsure of what to do with the service once they did have access. At Google I/O last month, Google announced that Wave was available to all, and that it is now part of Google Apps.
Ars Technica has an interesting interview with Wave developer Lars Rasmussen, who talks about the ways people have been using Wave, and how the availability to more people (including devleopers) will open up greater possibility for the service.
Perhaps getting these new tools out there will help in getting Wave more exposure and increased usage as well. Until now, if you wanted to share information from the web with Wave, you would have to go the copy and paste route, as Douwe Osinga of the Google Wave Team mentions, but now you can use these tools to do so.
