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.

Yes, here is a cool feature that you would love to add to your blog. A small badge from Gtalk, on your sidebar, and user visitors can start talking to you with a simple click, without sharing your gmail ID or their email ID.
To create one badge for you, you just need to copy paste the code from here
If you can’t believe what I told you now, read more here !!
“Visitors will then see a badge on your site indicating your availability, and can click to start a chat with you. If there’s a time when you don’t want to be distracted, just set your online status to “busy” and visitors won’t be able to chat with you until you change your status back to “available.”
Update- If you set your status to “busy” on chat, the gtalk link will be disabled. ( Visitors will not be able to request chat )
If you believe, then just click on “talk to me” on my sidebar, and LET’S TALK !!
