Google announced that it will pull the plug on Google Wave

It KILLS Google Wave because they think we are not ready for it..

Such a FAIL!!

Some of you already did notice it. Google has a nice extension called “Google Translate”.

Well…. they forgot to add an OFF    button to it.

Every time you get to a web page it will ask you if you want it translated. Every time!

Sure.. you can turn off translating for that page..  or for that language..  but a general OFF button doesn’t exists!

UNINSTALL it!   Right… the way Google works with extensions.. that is hard to do..

They don’t give each installed extension a normal name, but call it like “asdhtrwjfkgfsdfjdf” and more like that..

You should have the freedom to turn it off if you want..

or… should I use my freedom to change browser?

Google Friend Connect is Google’s way for connecting blogs and visitors and using the Google Friend Connect integration plugin for WordPress you can add more social interaction to your blog.

BUT..

There always is a but..

The plugin will not work under WordPress, unless add the following:

<script>
window.JSON = {
parse: function(st){
   return st.evalJSON();
},
stringify: function(obj){
   return Object.toJSON(obj);
}
};
</script>

This is because a JavaScript error and Google Friend Connect should work after you add this code before the gadget code in WordPress.

What about Google Wave, Google’s Team Tool?
Everyone is talking now about Google Buzz, but IMHO think that Wave is a much better product

There is so much to do with it, if.. you have the right extensions.
To make a list of the best extensions, I created a Wave and you all are invited to join.

NOTE: To “see” the Wave, you need a Google Wave account & you need to be logged in

I found this video on the Google Mobile Blog and I think they did a really nice job making it.
(of course, making one phone call to “Mom” was much easier    )
