I have another amazing guest author to thank for this article. He is Twitter’s resident Google Wave Jedi Master and you can follow him on Twitter at @wavejedimaster. He is on the wave almost 24/7 and he communicates first hand with Google executives about the Wave.

He describes himself as a pro-waver and he graciously takes time out of his schedule to help others on the Wave or on Twitter. You can also find him on his own Wave at:

If you are one of those that just arrived to Google Wave it is quite possible that you feel a little lost about what is going on and how things work.

To help you find your way here is a list of 5 Waves you shouldn’t miss:
