Google Wave – Invitations and YouTube Gadget

Gadgets are allowed but there is no function for YouTube videos

As I said before, its possible to add gadgets to your Wave. Add Google maps, simple polls and many gadgets from the google gadget gallery. Since Google Wave is in an early state, not every 3rd party gadget works and adding gadgets is limited. The first thing I noticed is that there is no standard function to add YouTube videos to your Wave. We (finalwebsites.com) created a small YouTube Gadget Generator to create your custom YouTube Video object. Using this generator it’s possible to create a gadget from every YouTube Video URL.

Google most visited site in Netherlands

It's not really a surprise, but Google is the most visited website in the Netherlands in the first part of 2009. In the top 20 list, set up by Alexa, social networking site Hyves takes the second position before YouTube and Google.com.

For me as a Internet living in the Netherlands, is this not surprising. On the other site the information is collected by Alexa and I know no-one in the Netherlands using the Alexa toolbar or other Alexa stuff.

According my own research the top 5 is different:

  1. Google.nl
  2. hyves.nl
  3. marktplaats.nl
  4. Youtube
  5. nu.nl
not sure about the exact order but these should be the real top 5
