In a column running this weekend about Google Wave, I mention that I read a lot of posts and watched a lot of videos to get started. I thought I’d post them here for others who are just diving in. And if you have other links to good “how-tos” or perspectives on why GW is great or not, post them in the comments below.

Here are my links:

Official Google Wave blog gives the backstory.

Lifehacker had easily the best overview and guide to getting started.

Mashable also has a good guide.

The L.A. Times got a sneak peak and took some hand holding to get started.

Businessweek asked if GW will replace email.

Tim O’Reilly explains why GW really is awesome.

Scott Yates argues that Google Wave is not simple, and that’s the point.

Ulitzer was an unabashed GW fanboy.

TechCrunch says GW is the dawn of passive-aggressive communication.

New Scientist explores how GW could rewire our brains.

NPR said getting an invite to GW is the new “golden ticket.”

Farhood Manjoo of Slate also found it overcomplicated.

Robert Scoble says GW has crashed on the beach overhype.

And Scoble says the email metaphor is unproductive.

Can the Wave be used to diagnose patients?
