Pooja Srinivas reported to me and others that she was able to view the wave embedded on a page at her website Artistic Waves even though she was not signed in to Google Wave. Instead of showing her Google Wave account in the top right-hand corner, the embedded wave had "Anonymous." I found the same thing to be true for the waves embedded in this blog. I could still view them, even though not signed in to Wave. Apparently this means that non-Wavers will now be able to view, but not edit, waves embedded in webpages. This is great news, because it means that non-Wavers will at least be able to see the content of embedded public waves. Seeing the content may kindle in them a desire to become Wavers themselves.
One user has reported that this new feature does not work in Internet Explorer, using the Chrome Frame plug-in. But it appears to work in other browsers. Also, just pasting a Wave URL in the browser address bar does not enable non-Wavers to view a wave. Those who do that will get the Google Wave sign-in page. Thus it appears that this feature works only for embedded waves. Even so, this is a significant step toward giving non-Wavers a window into what is going on in the public part of the world of Google Wave.

I have tried to paste in the code given by embeddy to the bottom of the page on my website. But it does not seem to work. - T
ReplyDeleteHow can I embed a wave into my website?:

The wave at the bottom of this blog gives instructions for embedding in Blogger. It points out that for Blogger, at least, the code generated by Embeddy leaves out a crucial set of single quotation marks, which you need to add manually. An alternative is to use the blog-bot@appspot.com robot, which will include the quotation marks.
