Google Wave and WordPress

Hello All!  This is just me testing out my new Google Wave WordPress plugin called wavr.  Below is a test wave I set up.



and if you don’t have a google wave account, here is what it looks like.  What’s nice about it is that you can customize the look with different backgroWave-Accessund and font colors.  Also pretty cool, I can edit the wave from within my blog post.  I have to be logged into my wave account (either in another browser window or the same browser window if i’m using tabs).

I can definitely see the usefulness of this.  I’ve seen some conferences try to figure out ways to aggregate information.  By adding the twitter bot and other bots, I may be able to use wave as a quick and easy way to aggregate information.

A few bummers:

  1. default colors are less than ideal, but luckily you can change that. so for example right now my code to embed the wave reads: wave id =”your-wave-id” bgcolor=”#FAEBD7″ (enclosed within brackets)
  2. people that don’t have a wave account can’t see the wave.  here is what they see:No-Wave-Access this is kind of a big let down.  it would be useful if they could at least view the wave…but unfortunately that’s not the case.

    Hi Rosalyn,

    Very cool! I can see the wave and all the edits, but unfortunately I can’t seem to do anything but private reply. Any reason you can think of for that? And I’m excited for a time when Waves can be embedded anywhere! :)

    Hi Amy,

    I can’t really think of a reason that you can only private reply. I see that other people have been able to add to the wave. Do you have a Google Wave account and are you logged in? That’s all I can seem to think would be the problem.

    Changed nothing, but now it’s working. Bizarre! But this is very cool. :)
