Jackson: “I’m constantly finding sites on WordPress.com that leave me happily surprised. I ran across Wir sprechen Online a few weeks ago and just kept coming back to it. For both the content and the design. – Wir sprechen Online is a P2 powered blog written in both German and English with content ranging from tech tid-bits to personal posts. Aside from the great content, I love how the site has taken advantage of the CSS Upgrade. The customized header, tweaked colors, and other nice little edits have really given the page a face of its own. It never fails to impress me what a little CSS can do – a little goes a long way.”

Wow! Thanks a lot! WordPress.com’s CSS upgrade is a great way to visualise whatever you want (at least: close to it ;) without the need of a self or third party hosted WordPress blog. You’re offering the best service in town and a pretty cool community surrounding it. Keep it up!

Thank you! Obviously you’re a fan of reduced designs and colours as well. – BTW: Great avatar! What is it exactly?

It’s always cool to see something you’ve designed take on a life of its own. That’s certainly been the case with P2. Thanks for providing a good example for us. :)

Too much of honor: You’ve done most of the cool work on P2. Thanks for providing such a good theme. :)

Google Wave Starts, Nearly
Google starts sending out more than 100,000 invitations to preview Google Wave; http://j.mp/4jHKag

Google: “Some of you have asked what we mean by preview. This just means that Google Wave isn’t quite ready for prime time. Not yet, anyway. … There are also still key features of Google Wave that we have yet to fully implement. For example, you can’t yet remove a participant from a wave or define groups of users, draft mode is still missing and you can’t configure the permissions of users on a wave. We’ll be rolling out these and other features as soon as they are ready – over the next few months. – Despite all this, we believe you will find that Google Wave has the potential for making you more productive when communicating and collaborating.”
TC: “Ambitious as Wave was, there were still some rough edges. We were granted access to the developer’s preview shortly after Google I/O, and it was clear that while the basic frame of all this great promise was there, there were no shortage of bugs to be ironed out. And that’s exactly what the Wave team has been doing the past four months, developer Lars Rasmussen tells us. And now they feel the product is ready to be given to a much bigger audience, as they will open it up to over 100,000 new users starting tomorrow. – To be clear: This is not a public launch. … While Wave is a product, the larger goal for the project is to make it into a communications platform. And that means they’re going to need third-party developers on board, working to build stuff on top of Wave. That work is already well underway, and Google plans to highlight several extensions that have already been built and are in working order.”
SEL: “Accordingly Wave has huge potential, but people will definitely need to use and experiment with it before they understand and see its benefits. There’s a clear learning curve and some complexity surrounding the product; it’s not entirely intuitive. Wave probably also needs to incorporate email in order to go mainstream.”
NYT: “While it is awaiting a wider release, Google Wave has already gained notoriety for being associated with a clever, if sneaky, attack that Google launched against Microsoft last week. That’s when Google announced Google Chrome Frame, a plug-in for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer that turns the browser into one that essentially runs Google’s rival Chrome browser inside itself. With Chrome Frame, Internet Explorer appears unchanged to users, but runs Chrome’s engine for displaying Web pages rather than IE’s.”
RWW: “Some features, however, still need to be implemented. Some of these are quite basic, like the ability to remove users from a wave, while others are a bit more complicated, like the ability to set specific user permissions on a wave. According to the Wave team, many of these missing features will be implemented within the next few months. – How Will People React? Overall, it will be interesting to see how the Wave infrastructure holds up tomorrow and how people will react when they first see and use Wave.“
