I’ve just put up a TiddlyWiki containing an explanation and demo of my latest plugin, which provides a visual interface for querying and writing to the Freebase database.
The idea with this is to provide an easy way for TiddlyWikis to communicate with Freebase, an online contextual encyclopedia, and in general with other non-TiddlyWiki storage mediums. As Phil Hawksworth pointed out as I was showing this to him today, it’s easy to imagine wanting TiddlyWiki to act as a window onto and into data that is stored, maintained and added to in other places.
The link to the demo is:

Hi, this is very cool idea.
Just tried it with FF2 on a Mac and I get
Failed HTTP request
Error: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open
With Safari I get ‘Logged in as hamstersoup’
Do you already have some tiddlers that demo reading and writing?
It would be very cool if you could edit MJT code inside a tiddler to embed a table of live data from Freebase.
nice work,

Will,
Thanks for the response. I’ll have a look into this - I’m using FF2.0.0.6 on mac and it works… I’ve had a report that it doesn’t work on IE either - so much for cross-browser testing! Oops…
