that's pretty cool, I heard about this a while ago.
Totally understandable that facebook and myspace wouldn't be on there,
but it'll make it so much easier to get your app out to more people. Now
you only need to write it to work on 3 platforms to reach a massive
audience.

Google has announced OpenSocial, a new open API for social networks. The new
standard will allow developers to create Facebook-like apps on any social
network site that implements it with the same calls.

This is huge because finally we're starting to see a common standard being
build into different social networks. There are some caveats however like no
support for Facebook or Myspace.
