      • OpenSocial is a set of common APIs for building social applications across the web

    6. Why OpenSocial is Important?
      • The Web is better when it's social
      • Isn’t the Web social already?
      • 100s of millions of users already have signed up for social networks around the world
      • That’s great, but we believe it can get better
    7. The problem of social network development As each social website opens its environment to developers, it exposes an API “ .. But what if you want to build an application that will run on multiple social websites?” Problem: Developers have to learn multiple APIs to publish in multiple environments Solution: OpenSocial allows developers to write applications to a common standard API that will run on multiple websites!
    8. OpenSocial solves this problem
    9. OpenSocial solves this problem
    10. What can OpenSocial do for the Web?

      • More websites can run these applications
      • More users can use these applications
      • For Web developers this equates to distribution , distribution , distribution!
