Google Wave Test

wavelogoThis is a test post which is trying to integrate Google Wave into my WordPress blog.  Basically, Google Wave is awesome.  Check out the video from that link.  Oh, and if you’re keen to see what it looks like on the inside, check this out: http://www.earngey.info/wave/wave_base.png.  Basically, Google Wave looks like a very ‘sticky’ way of designing websites and creating functionality within existing structures.  So, this blog post relies on a wave plugin for WordPress, then a small bit of script in each blog post, which points to my waveID from the waves I made in the Google Wave center (check the screenshot).  Sound complex? Sure, it’s in BETA testing, but once all the bugs get ironed out, my guess is that it’ll be totally seamless and everyone will have built little plugins so life will be easy.   Anyhoo, here’s what it’ll look like (if you can’t see anything, don’t stress – you just don’t have the Wave stuff ready on your computer yet):

Here goes!!!!

I got my developers account late last week and I agree it is a bit complex, and still buggy. I think it’s true power will be with intergration and realtime collaberation.

Did you use the Wavr plug-in or is this a plug-in you have developed ? The plug-in seems to work pretty well Wave is still a little buggy. I also added you as sandbox contact. ericlogan@wavesandbox.com

@SamR – I’ve fixed the link, thanks for letting me know dude!
@Scott – Yep, in it’s current phase of development it is a little bit weird to get used to, but I’m sure that’ll all change when it launches. It’s really quite impressive though!
@Eric – thanks for adding me. I’ve added you also. Now, this is one called Wave Shortcuts… but I’ll try WavR now… thanks!

Woot!!! It’s working!!! The WavR plugin is much better than what I was doing before… and this is quite interesting indeed!

Oh, if you’d like to see what this first little (primitive looking!) wave looks like, i’d uploaded a screenshot to: http://www.earngey.info/wave/waveinblog.png

this is absolutely awesome. truly crazy. I can edit this wave either from my page (here), or from the main google wave interface (1st attachment). either way, whatever is changed or added to the wave is automatically, IN REAL TIME, changed on the other screen. unbelievable!!! check out the screenshot:

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the post – yes, it’s a bit weird. I had a Google Sandbox account and assumed that I’d be OK to go straight onto the new wave platform – unfortunately it looks like I’ll need to apply and wait :(

No probs though – I’m keen to collaborate as soon as I’m there!
