Hello, I read through the documentation of OpenSocial and there are a few answers that seem to elude me.
Here goes : Is OpenSocial limited to a standard API or is there information sharing? I looked through the documentation and I get a general feeling that there is information shared between services ( why else would the userid by domain:userid ? ) but I don't see enough information to give me a complete picture of information sharing. What kind of information sharing will happen using these applications? Other than information I could send using requests to third party servers in the javascript, what information is shared with everyone? I could use the userid to uniquely identify the user in my app and use it to fetch information on my server, but how do I ensure the userid is not spoofed? How do I authenticate that the information request is coming from the proper user? My website is not really a social networking site, I just want the possibility to allow users to send users information, can I have an opensocial application that runs on my website that gives the user his/her friends list so that the user can send information to that user ( most easily would be click the user and fetch the email of that user ) ? Is the only cross website support available by means of the userid that is available that specifies the domain?
