OpenSocial - Meet the OpenSocial containers

This session is for the Social networking sites that use Open Social container. Representation from MySpace to Hi5, AOL, Friedster etc talked about how they used OpenSocial platform to build the apps and widgets on their sites.

OpenSocial is a very interesting concept and is becoming popular as more and more companies are participating in building the platform. Google provided the first drop of the platform and donated to Apache and opened up the many developers. This could become a platform competing headon with Facebook API.

We may not use it directly, but the fact that the exponential growth fueled by this platform could mean many more social sites will popup.

We could use this platform to build social site for our advisors, but why would we build something from scratch? Lets give more thought to this...
