Another minor update (perhaps a test) — the new Extensions link has been moved down to the drop-down folder area, and been separated into Featured and All. These were previously available as searches, while the original link simply showed all extensions. This is all part of the plan to get people using and developing extensions to showcase the strengths of Google Wave.

Not a big thing, but a simple update that shows the shortcut for closing a blip on the Done button. Also missing is the Draft check box which has been present from day one but never worked. This could mean that the ability to create drafts might be low on the priority list, or the team decided that it was confusing to have non-functioning interface elements available. Either way, it’s a sign that the Wave team are serious about cleaning up Wave and making it less confusing for new users.

Minor interface tweak: The default Wave avatar for new users (and bots) has been slightly updated with a bit of shading around the edges.

Not a very big deal at all. Just interesting to see what things the team are tweaking.

Google Wave won’t run in Internet Explorer.

Google Wave depends on strong JS and DOM rendering performance to provide a desktop-like experience in the browser. HTML5’s offline storage and web workers will enable us to add great features without having to compromise on performance. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer, still used by the majority of the Web’s users, has not kept up with such fairly recent developments in Web technology

What is Google Wave?

A short “Google Wave for Dummies” type clip that highlights a tiny but important fraction of what Google Wave can do. A great introduction for the non-technical (and the technical!)
