Wave buh-bye to Google's Wave

Google is killing Wave stating:

Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked. We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product, but we will maintain the site at least through the end of the year and extend the technology for use in other Google projects.

Google Voice is now open to the public - no invitation needed.

Skype Caller ID and Google Voice

I'm not sure when it took effect, but you can now assign your Google Voice Caller ID to your Skype account so that your outgoing Skype calls show your Google Voice number. I tried to do this months ago, but it requires Skype to send a text message to the desired number, and Skype at that time was unable to send text messages to GV numbers.

This has been resolved. And setting it up is super-simple:

1. go to the "Caller ID" section of your account
2. click "Change Number" and enter your GV phone number
3. you should receive a text message with a code (this took about 10 seconds for me)
4. enter this code back into the Skype page
5. wait 24 hours for the change to take effect

Now the people you call won't get confused by Skype's default caller ID.

Blogger Template Designer

Google has launched their Template Designer as part of the Blogger in Draft system (sort of their "Labs" for Blogger). Essentially it adds a bit more customization and templates to Blogger for those of us that are CSS-challenged. Read more about it here, or watch the video below.
