Just testing out the official Wordpress app for Android.
It Works… Kind of a nice feature for microblogging, but to be honest, writing a large blog post on my little android keypad is not so fun, so I probably wont be using it much. It does have a save feature though so that is super nice.
One of the really exciting possibilities of the new Google Wave platform is the ability to embed waves on your websites and blogs. Picture it kind of like Wordpress comments on steroids. Or maybe like a mini Wiki chatroom, only more slutty…
To make a wave public, you just have to add public@a.googlewave.com as a participant to the wave and it is wide open to the world to ravage and do as they please with.
Then simply by using a Wordpress plugin called Wavr, a little help from a tutorial I found here, I was able to figure out what my WaveID was and then just slapped that sucker right here in the post as seen below.
Unfortunately what you are seeing now is a screenshot of the wave instead of the real thing, because in order to see the live wave, you need to be logged in to Wave itself, and since so many people are still waiting for their wave invite, I felt it would be best for now to just show the example.
Now before you go slapping your waves all over the web, keep this in mind.
Currently, Google has not implemented any permission settings to waves yet. What this means is that anyone and everyone can add to and edit a public wave. The wave has no inhibitions, so anyone can comment whatever they want, add applications, change anything, say nice things, bad things, delete things, spam… sooo naughty… and scary.
So, while full of future potential, it is probably a good idea to wait until the public version comes out and see if they add permissions. I hope so at least… Regardless, I just wanted to share because I think it’s super cool.
Why is the theme song to the Never Ending Story going through my head now?
I look forward to your input.
