Open Social

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

UPDATE: Here’s the Techcrunch write-up on Open Social.  This will be yet another mini-goldrush.

Excellent post by the Ning guy about Open Social, the impending open api format for social app developers. Although this is nice for developers, I still want to see an open format for my social data itself; I’m lazy and would ideally belong to any number of networks but only have to input my data once. Although Open Social will be a step in the right direction, I wonder what kind of impediment the absence of MySpace and Facebook is going to be, as they are still the largest networks.
