Wavr Plugin for WordPress

So boys and girls of waveland ( if you are not a member of Google Waveland yet,  come on in ! ), here is another Wave plugin for WordPress. It does something basic as of now, like most of the other plugins for Google Wave. But I see some serious work going on with this sourceforge.net hosted project.

Use this plugin to embed Google Wave inside a wordpress post, as easy as [wave id="wave-id"].This plugin implements the full wave embed api. Will include widgets for the sidebar in the near future. Features a TinyMCE button for embedding the wave.

You can download the plugin from here Official WordPress.org Page here

That’s the short description about the project. These guys are trying to create a community around this wordpress plugin, which is a good sign, and has an idea about what to do with this plugin in future releases. They are promising a sidebar widget in the next version.

Windows 7 is coming soon, and I have seen good feedback about it, so far .. ( beta release ).  Its better than Vista, and they are correcting their mistakes. But, interesting thing is, Windows 7 looks almost similar to KDE 4, ( latest release ) which is a Linux desktop environment. 

With netbooks getting popular, Linux is taking another step forward, because  they make netbooks even cheaper, and flexible. 

Universities, Schools and even government departments are moving towards Linux, and there is a lot happening in the open source community ….   and something like this too .

Okay, that’s about something I’ve been reading about for the past few weeks…  and you will see more posts about them here ..  let me know if you would like to taste some open source software blogging

Yahoo! always had its own approach to web 2.0 ( thats what I felt hmm ). It always tried to build its own social networking, its own communities etc. This may not be 100% true, but, when comparing to all those happenings in the web 2.0 world, Yahoo! tried to be different, in its own way. Now, here is a news that made me start thinking the other way, or perhaps, Yahoo has started thinking the other way too !!

Yahoo ! announced? Yahoo Shortcuts, which will automatically detect keywords on your blogpost and suggest links, enhancing and enriching the content. In the beta release, its being offered as a wordpress plugin !! You can read more about this here and get a free T shirt, for installing the plugin on your blog, provided you are located in the USA

For those who Boycott Blogger, you must start loving Yahoo now,Iin the Yahoo Google Cold War,? if google has is “blogger”, Yahoo can think about a? deal with wordpress right ?, if that is the case, Yahoo is on the right track. To confirm this, we will wait for more stuff coming out from Yahoo+wordpress team. If yahoo find this shortcut plugin performing well, I think they will bring more stuff,I am pretty sure ( voww who are you ? eh ? ). I think Mat, and all the wordpress team also understand this very well, because they are promoting this plugin very well also, the position of the plugin manager right on top of your “create new post” page, also suggests the same. . If things go pretty well, you should see the plugin soon on blogs hosted on wordpress.com too.

I am giving this plugin a try, should go through old posts to test them. Do you want to read a review from me ? Did you find this plugin useful ? drop your comments here !

Update : I am loving this flickr photo and yahoo finance badge.. I dont have to search for images, download them, or link them … I still need to find more stuff !! what you think ? Isn’t it making the posts enriched ?
