There’s no denying that the web enables communication. The killer apps of the web — email, instant messaging, blogging — have enabled us to communicate with our friends, family, and the rest of the world on a large scale. But there is a newer characteristic of the web that has been emerging: to become social. The first wave of killer apps allowed us to communicate with the world at scale. The next wave is about connecting us and our online activities with our friends.
Social networks have seen that next wave, and have started opening up developer APIs to enable third-party innovation on their websites. This is a great thing, but it has also led to a growing number of APIs which a developer must learn. So we took a look at the state of the web and asked how we could make development easier for both websites and developers. Out of that exercise came OpenSocial.
OpenSocial is a set of common APIs that will work on many different social websites, including MySpace, Hi5, Ning, orkut, and LinkedIn, among others. In addition, this allows developers to learn one API, then write a social application for any of those sites. Learn once, write anywhere, if you will. And because it’s built on web standards like HTML and JavaScript, developers don’t have to learn a custom programming language.»
Me permito traer hoy, como complemento a la noticia, algo que hasta ahora no había hecho, copio y pego de mi google reader todo lo que me ha entrado sobre OpenSocial, el api(Application Programming Interface) de moda junto con el gOS, y el nuevo google PC(el sistema operativo de Google, que mañana comentaremos cuando haya más cosas en la red):
The Google-lead initiative called OpenSocial is all the buzz this week with anyone interested in online innovation, but beyond all the enthusiasm there are a number of questions that ought to be asked more visibly than they have been so far. OpenSocial is a hugely ambitious project that would tie together Google, MySpace and numerous other social…

Semantic search engine Hakia has just released a new social networking feature, called Meet Others (MO). The basic idea is to «meet others» who asked the same query. This is something I’ve never seen in a search engine before – and actually I’m not convinced that social networking is a good fit with search. But let’s take a lo…

Google’s recent announcement of their OpenSocial API’s appears to be a new form of middleware for connecting social networks together. But it’s too early to tell, since the technical details are not available yet. The notion of a middleware service for connecting social networks and sharing data between them makes a lot of sense, and if Google has …

Here’s the Slashdot discussion.

This week, Google is slated to announce OpenSocial – a series of APIs that will allow developers to essentially «network social networks». This is obviously targeted at Facebook’s growing prominence, as Google finds itself in the unique position of not being the default hype leader, but is instead playing catchup (just walking through U of Manitoba…
