Google has released Open Social, which I think is quite spectacular - I mean to say you will release on the 5th and release on the 3rd? Are they in the software business? Or is this something they started working on before Facebook had apps and finished ages ago… then decided how long it would take to market it?
If that’s the way they did it was a really good idea!
Google have partnered with Orkut, MySpace, Hi5, LinkedIn…. the list of partners goes on!
First post of the open social blog discusses the amazing opportunities of the platform…
When you add up the current websites who have committed to implementing OpenSocial, you realize that a developer building for OpenSocial has the chance to reach over 200M+ users in dozens of countries. So over the course of the next few months, we’re going to continue laying the foundations of OpenSocial to enable this common dream for a more social web.
To sign in to get access to the open social API, you seem to require a special Orkut account to get access to the sandbox. It appears there may be a wait, I haven’t got a response yet…
