Zwei Lager formieren sich: OpenSocial Foundation gegründet…

Es wird immer deutlicher, das sich im Internet zwei Lager formieren um in den kommenden Jahren um die Vorherrschaft ringen werden. Auf der einen Seite ist das Google, das mit seiner OpenSocial-Idee Facebook etwas entgegensetzen und andere starke Social…

Hahahahahah…..absolute neutrality…..trust me these guys got greater things in mind, they’re hoping that with all their resources behind this endeavour it will become the biggest social media platform, ever. With Facebook running at 67 million plus users, and mobile search being the way forward, they’ll be looking at serious integration and tapping this market. No free lunches with these guys, no matter what they’re preaching.

The point is not that “they’ll be able to say they will maintain absolute neutrality while keeping a straight face”, but that a legal structure is created which takes power away from Google, ensuring it will not be used against its competitors (namely Yahoo!).

Prior to this the governance around OpenSocial was entirely in the hands of Google. Every implementer of the spec was subject to Google’s unilateral terms.

Yahoo geht in die Offensive – Gehört nun auch zu OpenSocial…

Google’s Open Social hat heute ganz offiziell den wohl schwerwiegendsten Partner dazugewonnen:

It is about time. I love the contradiction of companies claiming to support the move toward open, social and community-based technologies, yet they try to get there by keeping their wares “closed.” Maybe the needs and the requirements of users will finally win out. Philanthropic or not, Google has helped fuel some very worthwhile initiatives.

I believe that personal information has to be kept personal, no matter how big is the one that stores it. And I have to say that o matter which allegiances people are making… A way can be found in this doc http://www.web2bm.com

I am really very excited to hear this is headed in the right direction. These are the sorts of things I knew Kevin Marks et al would do if given the chance, and it looks like management has done that. This is exactly the sort of standards effort we want to get all Social Media Club members to support. There’s definitely more to be done with the proposal and we look forward to contributing and supporting it going forward…

@Michael companies like Google running ‘non-profit’ organisations is as much bullshit as the likes of GSMA, Nokia, Google and others owning .mobi as a ‘non-profit’.

Google is not ‘do no evil’ that most suggest. They’re ‘Microsoft 2000′.

Look at the Mozilla/Google relationship. Mozilla is a ‘non-profit’ (and an org I admittedly love), yet a lot of its revenue comes from… Google. They’re totally in bed.

So, it appears that Google like to invest in non-profit organisations which all help their market share in the long run.

I agree with Aaron – where’s the real value for me the developer – or the end users? Is this to make our life easier, or for them to look good in pixels?

So if they turn it into a nonprofit, it’ll take years to gain any momentum and then the implementation won’t be standard across the sites that are supposed to be using it. Yawn? (See: OpenID, WC3, Joel Spolsky’s latest article on internet standards)
