Evernote Gadget Discovered

While we're on the subject of neat gadgets...

Anyone who uses Evernote will already know how useful it is. If you don't use Evernote... Why not? You should!

What is Evernote? Put simply its a global note taking system. Available on line, on local machines and on most PDAs and Smart Phones - (including a wicked iPhone app).





Anyhow, there's a gent' called Rene Cum who's made an Evernote gadget that works in Google Wave.

Remember how to add gadgets to a Wave: URL/xml Gadgets - How?

Wave Bot Wiki

Wave Bot Wiki

Some brave souls have started up a Wiki to list and document all the currently extant Google Wave bots and hopefully all those that come in the future.

You can find the Wiki here: GoogleWaveBots.info

Funghie's Top 10 Wave-isms

Top 10 list of things I find myself answering for people (and wishing they would listen to):

1. Update your profile as soon as you can. Add a picture. So you don't look like a random web item with no personality.
2. Use the double click method to get an indented reply within a wave (but be careful not to reply in the wrong place). This gives a nice neat collapsible reply instead of a brand new wavelet.
3. UNDO (Ctrl+Z) doesn't work. Watch out! (Copy & Paste is also sporadic).
4. Save your searches. For example onlyto:me is:unread = very handy.
5. When in a public wave - think before you hit a button - You could potentially destroy the wave. You could also leave a lot of random junk in someone's well maintained Wave. If you do - Clean it up before you leave.
6. Please don't add bots or gadgets to public waves that you didn't start yourself. Again - You could potentially destroy the wave.
7. Share you knowledge and don't be a proud-ass if someone shares yours and forgets to credit you - it is all public knowledge after all.
   
8. Don't moan and whine about broken features. Remember we are testing new technology here. It isn't going to work properly for a while yet. But you know Google - It will work eventually and when it does - it will rock!
9. If you're unsure about something, use the help link: http://www.google.com/support/wave You may be surprised how much info you can get from there. Including confirmation that a feature you can't get working doesn't work for anyone yet.
10. Remember you are dealing with real people - or in my case - a real dolphin. So be cool to each other. :-)

So long and thanks for all the fish.
