Google Launches Open Social.
Posted on November 5th, 2007 by Simon ChenIf you thought social networking was just a passing fad, you might want to think again. I haven’t got my head completely around Google’s recent announcement regarding Open Social quite yet, but here’s a good place to start if you want to sink your teeth into it.
According to Google;
OpenSocial provides a common set of APIs for social applications across multiple websites. Using standard JavaScript and HTML, they enable developers to create apps that access a social network’s friends and update feeds.
Titled “Google Campfire One”, it’s hosted by Vic Gundotra, the new head of Google’s Developer Programs. Gundotra used to be a Microsoft Evangelist, but jumped ship around 18 months ago.
It’s just under an hour long, so best grab a glass of wine and wait until the kids are in bed…

Social websites except for Facebook make absolutely no sense to me. Making it “Open” would invite all kinda of spamming and phishing schemes.
No sense, no sense at all.
