OpenSocial.

2012 Google I/O - Is This the 2007 Facebook F8?

Stay N' Alive

I'd guess we will - OpenSocial supports this and much of Google+'s current platform bases on OpenSocial standards. All eyes should be on Google's Annual Developer Conference, Google I/O next week.

Stay N' Alive

Kevin Marks (who led the OpenSocial platform at Google) mentioned the irony in a tweet earlier today of installing the open source social network Diaspora as we were discussing Twitter’s very centralized real time streaming API and federated environments. I’ve talked previously about “the web with no login button&# , a vision of the Building Block Web that follows the user where they go, knowing who they are and adapting as they move.
