I think this is a group where messages from new members have to be manually approved by a moderator, to cut down on spam. It'd be nice if it said that somewhere though. > I'm trying to do something conceptually simple. > 1) Show a google map in one gadget (Gadget 1). > 2) From another gadget, send a message with lattitude, longitude > coordinates to Gadget 1 and have it update the location shown in the > map. You could use PubSub: see http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/pubsub.html. Note that that link is for the Legacy API; pubsub is still supported in the gadgets.* namespace (see http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference/#gadgets.pubsub), but there's no further documentation AFAIK. Otherwise, you'll basically have to build one yourself; server-side push would be ideal, but a good bit of work. Perhaps you could poll the OpenSocial data store? Not sure of the overhead involved there. > Is there another way to do this in a more collaborative way? Maybe > everyone is waiting for Google Wave to do this? Given it was only announced a couple of weeks ago, I doubt there's much "waiting" gone on. :^) But yeah, Wave might be an option for this kind of thing someday.
