One of my favourite features of wave, is searching for waves (with : public). The only problem with this is as soon as you click on one of the public waves, your wave account becomes crowded with all the public updates. Google have added a feature to wave however, which allows you to ‘unfollow’ a wave. Google give the following advice…
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.
