Google announces the new social networking initiative "OpenSocial".
It is a set of common APIs that application developers can use to create applications that work on any social networks who join hands with Google.
OpenSocial is a set of three common APIs to access core functions and information at social networks:
== > Profile Information (member data, like interests, place, hobbies, etc.)
== > Friends Information (social network)
== > Activities (day today things that happen, like News Feed)
Sure, this may address the difficulties that developers are facing to deploy the widgets on Facebook. The main issue with the Facebook is the limitations with their own FBML (Facebook markup language).
Google has collaborated with some of the key Facebook app companies Flikster, iLike, Rock You & Slide to work with them on OpenSocial.
