* The Google Talk widget can now be [added to your personalized homepage][1]. The Google Talk Gadget is a web-based module that brings the Talk functionality in GMail to your Google personalized homepage -- letting you see your friends and chat with them.

* Wordpress, the popular blogging platform, has rolled out the [Wordpress Plugins Directory][2], where plugins can be browsed, rated, commented on and downloaded. Previously plugins were largely scattered around at personal sites and lacked a centralized repository other than a [developer's Subversion-based site][3] which many casual users found difficult to figure out.

* The word "wiki" has [officially made it into the English language][4]. The word, which comes from Hawaiian and means roughly "quick" in its native language, has been added to the Oxford English Dictionary with the definition: a type of Web page designed so that its contents can be edited by anyone who accesses it.

* The web loves phone rumors. Ever since the iPhone turned out to be a real product (and perhaps even before that) rumors have swirled about a Google Phone. Now, [according to Engadget][5], a Google exec has confirmed the existence of R & D project phone.
