With configurable profile properties and relationship types. o  Comprehensive JavaScript and REST API access to the Social Graph: OpenSocial plus conforming extensions. o  Scalability via support for running in distributed configuration, table partitioning technologies, master and slave databases and distributed caching.

Apache SocialSite •  Allows you and (optionally) your users to embed OpenSocial Gadgets in your existing web applications •  Enables multiple web applications so share a common social graph of users, groups, activities and more •  Open Source software, developed by Sun •  https://socialsite.dev.java.net/ •  Now entering the Apache Incubator •  http://incubator.apache.org/projects/socialsite.html •  as a Committer and first one to deploy it in a live site… A big running company, with 1.5M+ users.

Apache SocialSite Stats Load testing servers Three m1.small instances were use to generate the load. Amazon EC2 Standard small definition: 1.7 GB memory 1 EC2 Compute Unit (1 virtual core with 1 EC2 Compute Unit) 160 GB instance storage (150 GB plus 10 GB root partition) 32-bit platform I/O Performance: Moderate Running in JBOSS and ORACLE

What I see in Enterprise 2.0 •  Communication •  Knowledge Management •  Find hidden Talent •  Reduce redundant internal email spam •  Sense the company mood

OpenSocial & eXo Platform •  eXo offers rich, intuitive collaborative software that is used by some of Europe’s largest companies and gov’t ministries. •  We just opened our first U.S. office. •  Created eXo Social based on OpenSocial that integrates our application services into GateIn (co-developed with Red Hat)
