Google Wave Gadgets
Google Wave Gadgets start to impact on one's consciousness as soon as you've got over the initial excitement of Google Wave. There are only really two gadgets included, Google Maps Gadget, and the Yes/No/Maybe Gadget. In case you haven't discovered those yet, open a wave, click to edit the wave or add a blip, you will see icons on the top bar of the wave (a red map marker for the map gadget and three colored rectangles for the YNM gadget). Try adding these to a wave and I think you will start to realize what's in store for us in the future.
There are already some other Google Wave Gadgets available and I know developers all over the world will be burning the midnight oil writing new ones as you read this.
