The following is taken from a Wave titled iGoogle Gadgets That Work Inside Wave that was started by Russell Trip, which is basically what you see below – a list of iGoogle Gadgets and how well they work inside Google Wave. Russell also started another wave that is just for discussing iGoogle Gadgets in Google Wave called Discuss: iGoogle Gadgets That Work In Wave.
I highlight these two posts to draw attention to the Waves for folks inside Google Wave that have not found this and too also provide info to folks that do not have a Wave account but are hungry for every piece of info they can get. If you don’t have an invite you would not be aware about these iGoogle Gadgets.
For those that are not familiar with iGoogle Gadgets, they are the gadgets that are available for your Google personalized page.
Status colour tags take the following format:
Working = works correctly in Wave
Limited = partially working or works with limitations inside Wave
Non-Working = does not work inside Wave
