# Black Wave 2: Blackboard Wave Integration!

Yesterday I showed you how you could embed [Google Wave into Blackboard](https://hawksey.info/blog/2009/11/black-wave/). At the time I tweeted this as "Google Wave embedded into Blackboard WebCT. A world 1st? http://twitgoo.com/4p068" ([the tweet](http://twitter.com/mhawksey/statuses/5424194125)). Turns out I might have not been the first to do this as [George Kroner](http://twitter.com/georgekroner) showcased a Blackboard Wave integration at [EDUCAUSE09](http://www.educause.edu/E2009). His example is streaks ahead of mine as he is synchronising discussions between a Google wave and Blackboard (click on the screenshot below for a side by side comparison).
