Google have just announced the release of OpenSocial – an attempt to try and build commonality of API between social networks. It allows developers to access three sets of core information: profile data, friend information, and activities happening within a network…and it looks like they’ve persuaded some pretty high profile networks to participate. Facebook is notable by its absence, however…and this move should provide developers the means to build applications once for multiple platforms…
Update: MySpace join the party.
