Google Wave invites are going out at the moment and Packetaddict was lucky enough to get their hands on one to get a hands on impression on what google is coming up with in the project. The biggest problem thus far is, it’s yet another Inbox to deal with and remember to check.

However being a thunderbird user and having recently upgraded to version three I caught onto the guys over at Quetzalcoatal have hacked together a piece of code that will let you open google wave within one of Thunderbird3′s new tabs.

To get it to work:

Launch Thunderbird > Tools > Error Console. Then paste in the following line of code and click Evaluate:

Components.classes['@mozilla.org/appshell/windowmediator;1']
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator)
.getMostRecentWindow(“mail:3pane”).document.getElementById
(“tabmail”).openTab(“contentTab”,{contentPage:
“https://wave.google.com/wave/?nouacheck”});

Paste it into notepad or your favourite text editor and make sure it’s all on one line. It will open a new tab and prompt you to login to google wave.
