Hi Grigory, 1. Yes you can create really complex webapps with JEE behind it. Just remember ultimately gadgets are HTML and JavaScript. This HTML and JavaScript can talk with your backend using Ajax and do the magic. Just that instead of traditional MVC (using struts) you will have to think more in terms of JSON based webapplications 2. Yes, OpenSocial API would limit you to the users of the existing social networks, which is >275 million users. Remember your application (OpenSocial 0.7 version) has to be present in the Application directory of OpenSocial Containers. If you have your own network, you will probably need to convert your social networking site to be OpenSocial complaint and use your own network. You can use shindig for this. 3. I can talk about Orkut, Orkut allows you to monetize, it allows you to put ads on the canvas view. However, Orkut is strict about not allowing ads on the Profile view.
