OpenSocial reaches milestone of 350 million users
On November 1, 2007, Google launched a set of OpenSocial interfaces for creating social services based on existing disparate projects. Six months ago, OpenSocial was only a list of plans and potential partners. However, lately, the matter has clearly moved from a dead end, and how it moved. The developers decided that it was possible to sum up some results .
At the moment, OpenSocial version 0.7 has support for social networks with a total of about 350 million users. At first it was MySpace and Hi5, and the last was Friendster. Each of the partners already provides users with their own applications for OpenSocial or develops them. By the end of the quarter, according to the forecast, the number of OpenSocial users can reach half a billion.

To date, more than 4,500 applications have already been created, and the number of installations exceeds 150 million. For comparison, Facebook has 37,000 applications and 715 million installations.
The developers have high hopes for OpenSocial 0.8, in which the functionality is somewhat extended, and now it is not based only on JavaScript. The developers decided that the best would be to use the RESTful API , which is also supported in Apache Shindig and the Hi5 social network.
In addition, a special tool is now being created to check the compatibility of application containers. With this tool you can carry out the appropriate compatibility tests.
The next version of OpenSocial 0.9 will add support for templates and markup for new applications. These topics are now being discussed in the developer mailing lists (about 350 people take part in the main discussions, of which only 10% work at Google), but project leaders believe that the concrete implementation of the templates and markup will begin quite soon.
