Trying out Wavr, a WordPress plugin that allows embedding a Google Wave in a blog. If you have a wave account, you can see my notes (and comment on them and interact with them) after the cut.

I’m not feeling well, but i can get to “Many Eyes,” so here are some visualizations of the whole corpus of IIW tweets. The Wordle The Wordle is useful to find good starting points for using a word tree visualization. (Many Eye’s “tag cloud” is similarly useful and additionally allows exploring the occurrences of use.) I started [...]

This rave review from if:book and thismore cautious notice from my colleague Roy Tennant in RLG programs both address the news from the Internet Archive about the Bookserver project.
