Quote from ‘Kafka on the Shore’ – Murakami

I love how random Haruki Murakami gets:

"Are you really Colonel Sanders?"
Colonel Sanders cleared his throat. "Not really. I'm just taking on his appearance for a time."
"That's what I thought," Hoshino said. "So what are you really?"
"I don't have a name."
"How do you get along without one?"
"No problem. Basically I don't have a name or a shape"
"So you're kind of like a fart."
"You could say that."

This was the biggest lacking feature in Google Wave (for me) for a while. Nice to see it added!

Google Wave: View all public waves

Search for with:public and you'll have enough to keep you busy testing.

google-wave

Update: To make your wave publicly viewable, add this "public@a.gwave.com"

Note: You have to add it in the contact list on the bottom-left of the screen. It might not accept the email address, but just press enter anyway and it should work.

Note2: Sometimes the address will disappear from your list - in which case, add it again (I know, it's annoying).
