Go Wave!

We have already come across many robots & gadgets which lets you add polling to wave. I must say this one beats all of them! Poll Gadget lets you add/remove options & create a poll. Results will be showed as soon as somebody votes. Poll Gadget uses Google chart APIs to represent the data in different charts (Bar chart & Pie chart). “Log” shows complete history about which user voted for what. Once the polling is completed, admin (One who created the poll) can click on “Embed Charts” to show the results to other users.

Nimbb gadget for Google wave allows user to record & share videos from webcam. Once it is added to wave, flash based gadget requests for the access to webcam. User can then record the video & stop when done. Video can be played back before saving, once saved video will be automatically made available to other participants of wave. The Gadget use Nimbb APIs to record & save the video. I don’t understand why gadget doesn’t provide video URL to share it outside wave also.
