Apparently the Google Wave team was getting a lot of feedback that public waves were cluttering up users’ inboxes, so today they are introducing a feature that allows a user to explicitly follow a wave.
Here is how Google explains the feature:
Here’s how following works: When someone adds you directly to a wave, or if you contribute to a wave, you will automatically be following that wave. When you see a public wave that you would like to get updates on, you can chose to follow it by hitting the follow button in the wave panel toolbar. You can remove these waves from your inbox by hitting the “archive” button, but when there is an update they will pop back in. You can switch between following and unfollowing a wave as much and as often as you like.
You can read more about it at the Google Wave blog.
