Test post with an embedded wave

Hello all, the latest craze is the Google Wave preview. I am in, so I am testing how a Google Wave will look when primitively embedded into a blog post using Wavr plugin for WordPress. And here it is:

[wave id="googlewave.com!w+Vc58PZQwA"]

Update: to make it work – replace in the Wavr source the URL to the WavePanel to “https://wave.google.com/wave/” and to determine your wave url, go to your wave interface, click on a wave and look on you address bar for something like “googlewave.com!w+Vc58PZQwA”. If you have ‘%252B’ in the URL, replace it with ‘+’. You might have to un-urlescape something else as well, so remember that ‘%25′ is a url escape for ‘%’.

    Yes, because we *needed* more technologies that encouraged script tags referencing third-party scripts.

    Yeah, I don’t like this particular usage of Wave either. It needs to be fully integrated to be really useful. Basically someone needs to either write a blog just with it or make a deep integration thing with WP where everything is a wavelet – blog post and all the comments.

    But this would require to write a custom frontend to the Wave API – something that would have static pages and allow anonymous comments (most likely those would show up as posted by a bot). You cann’t just use the generic Wave javascript interface and expect it to work – this requires a lot of integration work.

    Nope, the worst thing about this way of ‘using’ Wave is that you need to have a Google Wave preview account to just even view the Wave. It is pretty retarded.

    Watch the super long Google Wave video, they describe a few nice use cases right there. For one good thing I hope that there will we an addon that will allow to make blog comments be a Wave – this way you have threaded comments that follow you back to your Inbox and give a rich and mostly unified interface across multiple sites. You can have a rich discussion on another person’s blog page without ever leaving your Inbox and your Inbox interface.

    Read this yesterday and later that day I encountered a case where it would be very useful. It�s a nice way to pass around objects even if you don�t �have� one. Better than making object parameters optional all over the code imho�
