First, the person must be in your Contacts list.

If they are not in your contact list, follow the steps here to add them.

Then find the person's little avatar in your contact list, and double click on it.

 

A little popup message will appear, click on Ping (the person's name)

 

Type a message and click done

 

The ping will show up at the top of the person's Google Wave Inbox

 

Note to Google Wave engineers:  It would be really super if a notification of a ping would also show up in the person's regular email box.   Thanks!!!

Cheryl, what is the purpose behind a ping?  Just a fun thing to do?

Debbie,  I think most often, you would ping someone to tell them you want them to join a wave you started, or you want to join one of their waves..... You don't need to have a wave open to ping someone, so you could also be saying you ~want~ to start a wave with them.

Example:  An educator posted a tweet on twitter earlier this AM about a wave he started to discuss using wave in the classroom.  His tweet said to ping him at xxx@googlewave . com and he'd add you to the wave...

Caution: CAT BLOG AHEAD

Including random thoughts on life, art, business, stuff, and occasionally Real Estate.

What is a CAT BLOG?

According to Seth Godin: "Cat blogs are for, by, and about the person blogging. A cat blog is about your cat and your dating travails and your boss and whatever else you feel like sharing in your public diary."

Well, I am the boss, my dating years are behind me, but I do love my cats.

Enjoy!
