Hi everyone! If you follow the official Google blog, you may have noticed a story posted today about iGoogle launching support for social gadgets: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-scream-you-scream-we-all-scream-for.html
What may not be immediately obvious from the post is that iGoogle supports social gadgets through the OpenSocial specification, meaning that the same APIs you use to write orkut, MySpace, hi5, Netlog, Hyves (etc, etc) applications are available to develop on for iGoogle, including the REST/RPC APIs introduced in 0.8. iGoogle has supported OpenSocial in its sandbox for a long time now, but today is the first day where end users will finally be able to use these gadgets on a wide scale (currently in Australia and the US, other countries to follow shortly). If you're interested in how iGoogle's implementation of OpenSocial works, there's a blogpost on the iGoogle developer blog which should be informative: http://igoogledeveloper.blogspot.com/2009/08/igoogle-is-social-being.html. As always, Google employees like myself will be monitoring this group if you have any additional questions. Happy coding! ~Arne --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenSocial Application Development" group.
