I know, I know .. the initial buzz about google wave is over. But, it may come back and become mainstream, lets hope so … If you are someone who is still using Google Wave, here is an extension that works similar to Gmail notifier.
You will have a small notification icon on the toolbar showing number of unread Waves in your Google Wave inbox. This is really useful for people who no longer visit their Wave accounts. You will not miss any waves if you ever get any ! You will always have this notification on your toolbar if you are logged in to your Google account, which we always do almost all the times.
The extension allows you to :
- See unread waves without opening Wave in a popup.
- Access to a specific wave directly from the popup of the extension.
- Choose icons you want to see from different sets of icons.
- Specify your preferred refresh rate.
- Specify your Google Apps domain if you’re using Wave with Google Apps.
- Open Google Wave with navigation, contacts and search box hidden if you want.
Install it from here and don’t forget to drop your opinion in the comment form !
On the other hand, you can simply enable notifications for your inbox and be notified by e-mail. If you use the GMail notifier and set your GMail as the e-mail to which the notifications would be sent, you will get both of the notifications with a single extension.

that’s a cool idea ! infact, I am writing another post on my personal blog, where I write about Wave very often, about newly added notification system !!
thanks for this trick though
