That’s some seriously ugly code. My lead developer would slap me silly if I tried to check in code like that. Heh.

Wait until Microsoft puts its brand behind Facebook. There is a whole business community behind corporate firewalls that isn’t allowed to socially network….

@ThatGuy - On hi5 we have over 50% of our users have at least one app installed, and the median is 3 apps per user.

We have 30-40m uniques per month and 80m+ registered users.

Say what you will, but opensocial is a success on hi5, and we think it can and will be successful everywhere else.

@21 - No, there aren’t 275M opensocial users. There are only around 10-20M so far. Just because a platform like Orkut or Myspace adopts open social doesn’t mean that the penetration in their platform is 100%… more like 1%!

Take a look at how opensocial apps are growing… VERY slowly. Myspace is at a dead halt almost unless app developers are willing to pay them $150K for a featured advertisment.

I’m so glad this went open. OpenSocial is a HUGE PAIN in the ass to develop for. The client services are difficult to use and making it work cross platform is as much as a pain as anything else. Just fetching friend data is a huge hassle, much less actually putting the data to use in any meaningful way without server-side assistance.

Add on top of that the fact that myspace’s open social services fail every 3rd call, leaving the user stranded… its awful.

Facebook is the clear winner here unless Myspace kicks it into gear.

Open’s open right? If not then how open is open? Can you be slightly open? Can you be fully open in some respects but not in others? Is this buzzword being abused?

What will it take for maximum cross compatibility with extreme data portability? A depreciated valuation? Gov’t intervention (like allowing mobile phone numbers to follow customers)?

I await the day where I can easily pack my bags and walk over to the service that provides the best features etc…
