Google’s OpenSocial Platform Releases
Published by Jun | Filed under Facebook, Google, OpenSocial, Social Networking
Google just announced that starting tonight, developers can start writing applications using the social API for Orkut, MySpace, Engage.com, Friendster, hi5, Hyves, imeem, LinkedIn, Ning, Oracle, Plaxo, Salesforce.com, Six Apart, Tianji, Viadeo, and XING at http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial.
Will Facebook give in?”
After Breaking Open Facebook with Free Open Source Software, TechCrunch reports Google plans to announce an open API for social networking tomorrow. “OpenSocial is a set of three common APIs, defined by Google with input from partners, that allow developers to access core functions and information at social networks: 1) Profile Information (user data) 2) Friends Information (social graph) and 3) Activities (things that happen, News Feed type stuff)” Says Om Malik: “OpenSocial attacks Facebook where it is the weakest (and the strongest): its quintessential closed nature…Even if you take Facebook out of the equation, the task of writing and adapting widgets for the every increasing number of social platforms was going to be turn into a colossal mess.
What do you think of this new development in social networking?

I support OpenSocial!
I have always loved Google. They made the web so much easier when they launched Ajax.
With OpenSocial, developers will only learn one API and publish their programs to a much wider users.
I don’t think this is an attack to facebook. We all love facebook. This is a way to revolutionize the web.
The web is much better when its social…

@ cheryl - Its some sort of attack.. since google and facebook is a different company. maybe google start this to stop facebook rising to the top social networking site.
