Hi Sarvar, The 'Open' in OpenSocial refers to the standard being open, everyone is able to join and use it, and there's an open process in which people can participate and help form the specification.
The 'Open' doesn't however refer to people's private data, that is a policy that the social site's decide for them selves; And most (think: 99%) of them don't publish all social data of their members, so building a data mining app that goes of and finds profiles on all the social networks, that's something you can't make with it. What you could make is an app in which the user is prompted to give permission to your app to read his profile and friend data (authentication through OAuth, and fetching the social information via the social REST API's), but the user would have to give permission per social site, and this would only work for the social sites that expose their REST API's There's a number of libraries that make this easier for you: http://blog.opensocial.org/2008/12/opensocial-now-friends-with-php-java.html Goodluck, -- Chris On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 1:53 AM, Sarvar Abdullaev <sar...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi! > > I learned that OpenSocial provides single standard API to major social > networks.
