What’s Your Favorite Google Wave Gadget?

Google Wave is still a new phenomenon in the social media world. There is no Google Wave App Store yet and the API is relatively new, which means that Google Wave Gadgets are hard to find.

The crux of Google Wave is the extensions/apps or what Google Wave is calling “Gadgets”. Embeds and robots will have their place, but most likely not for the common user. Google was kind enough to provide us with the basic gadgets: Google Search Box, Google Maps, Yes/No, and a few others (Google Wave API sample gallery).

Are there any productive gadgets out there you are using yet? Do you have any suggestions? I’m definitely a fan of the “Collaborative Sudoku” gadget (direct gadget url), but what’s your favorite Google Wave Gadget?

Facebook Revamps its Privacy Policy

Earlier this year, Facebook was hammered for changes it made to its Terms of Service. The result was an uproar that eventually led to the Facebook Democracy, an initiative by Facebook to let users vote and comment on its governing documents.

The result was positive, but that didn’t end the criticism. Most recently, the Canadian government forced Facebook (Facebook) to make changes in order to comply with the country’s privacy laws. Now Facebook is looking to close that chapter with a brand new Privacy Policy that users will have the chance to comment and vote upon.

Facebook VP of Communication and Public Policy Elliot Schrage made the announcement on the Facebook blog early this afternoon. The social networking company has rewritten its policy in “plain language” and has “included numerous examples to help illustrate [their] points.”

The new policy explains that you have the right to delete or change your profile information, that you can delete your entire account from Facebook’s servers, that there are limitations to removal, and that backup copies can exist for up to 90 days after deleting. It also goes into new detail over advertising on Facebook.

Facebook users who are interested in the document can comment on it on the Facebook Site Governance page. The commenting period lasts until 12pm PT on November 5th. After that, the company will take its next steps – likely another update to the policy and placing it to a community vote.

Let’s be clear: Facebook is making these changes to appease Canada. Still, we commend Facebook for its democracy movement. Allowing users to provide input and vote on changes gives users new and necessary control over a website that’s larger in population than almost every country in the world.
