Googles Gets Social with OpenSocial
DMNews is reporting this morning that Google has released a new social platform that provides Web developers with a set of APIs for including social media enhancements into any Web site. The platform is called OpenSocial, and Google claims that it offers a centralized tool-set to simplify development and distribution of social content across the Internet.
OpenSocial allows developers to implement widgets, which are small snippets of code for distributing content, to any social network, such as reddit, Topix, and Digg. In addition, major social media sites such as MySpace, LinkedIn, Engage.com, and Salesforce.com have committed to using Google’s new platform.
