OpenSocial now friends with PHP, Java, Ruby, and Python

With more and more containers introducing server-to-server APIs based on the OpenSocial REST and RPC protocols (think MySpace, LinkedIn, Plaxo, orkut, and iGoogle just for starters), it has never been a better time to jump into OpenSocial development. These new protocols allow you to write engaging social applications for these containers using the language of your choice -- JavaScript is no longer the only option.

To help you get started using the OpenSocial REST and RPC protocols, we have assembled a set of client libraries for PHP, Java, Ruby and Python. Each library enables developers to retrieve profile information and persistent data from supporting containers without having to concern themselves with managing network connections, signing requests, or other lower-level details. To check out the code, point your browsers to the Source tab linked from each project's home page:

• OpenSocial PHP Client Library
• OpenSocial Java Client Library
• OpenSocial Ruby Client Library
• OpenSocial Python Client Library
  

These libraries are completely open sourced under the Apache 2.0 license, and contributions are not only welcomed but encouraged. In addition to a wiki page explaining the patch submission process, each project hosts an issue tracker which have already been populated with known issues and requested enhancements. These trackers are the best places to start if you're interested in contributing to a particular project. Please report any new bugs or incompatibilities you find along with any feature requests using these trackers and be sure to star those reported by other developers which are significant to your own development also so they can be prioritized effectively.

To help get you started, we have assembled a set of sample applications, linked from the project wiki pages, which you can run directly from the command line or your favorite IDE. As an added bonus, the Ruby and Python libraries have accompanying full-featured sample applications which you can run inside containers supporting the OpenSocial REST protocol. These larger samples are checked in to the Subversion repository under "Samples" and include a bootstrap mechanism for securely retrieving the ID of the current viewer before the core application loads, which you can use as a template for your own container-based applications.

For general questions and commentary, we have set up a discussion group to help build the developer community around the libraries. The original engineers of each library are already members of the group, so feel free to ask the tough questions. :) We will also be hosting a special session of IRC office hours next Monday, December 22 from 1:00 to 3:00 (PST) so you can share your feedback with us directly. The official OpenSocial IRC channel is located at irc://irc.freenode.net/#opensocial.

We're really excited to see the next generation of social applications that the OpenSocial server-to-server APIs enable, and we hope the client libraries ease you along your development journey. Please give the libraries a spin, file any issues you see, and stop by the IRC channel next week to get your questions answered. See you there!

Application Platform OpenSocial's birthday wrap-up: it's good to be one OpenSocial's First Birthday: Detailed Agenda -- November 13 in San Francisco OpenSocial Foundation: The Election Results Are in!

OpenSocial meets My Yahoo! with the Yahoo! Application Platform

Yesterday Yahoo! unveiled a set of new features and opportunities for both users and developers across many of our most popular products. Earlier this year at Yahoo! we made a commitment to re-wire our products based on a new platform initiative, called the Yahoo! Open Strategy, making them drastically more social and significantly more open to content and services from third-party developers and publishers. Part of that effort was to take on a role with the OpenSocial Foundation and be an active contributor to the community.

Now we're taking that effort a step further by opening up My Yahoo! to apps developed through the Yahoo! Application Platform. Now, developers across the community will have the opportunity to get My Yahoo! users trying out and using their applications using the OpenSocial JavaScript API and Yahoo! Social Rest APIs in the canvas full view and HTML/CSS in the My Yahoo! View.

My Yahoo! is a great opportunity for developers. It's been a pioneer and leader of personalized start pages since 1996 with more than 20 million monthly visitors in the US alone. And of course, opening up Yahoo! products and services to OpenSocial apps is just one part of our effort. As a founding member of the OpenSocial Foundation, we're also committed to supporting the complete OpenSocial specification and are working with the community to expand the specification, starting with version 0.9, and adopting the OpenSocial REST protocol.

For now, though, you can get started today and delight the tens of millions of My Yahoo! users. Check out our forums and stay up to date with other upcoming OpenSocial news and improvements to the Yahoo! Application Platform.

OpenSocial's birthday wrap-up: it's good to be one

A little over a week ago, the OpenSocial Foundation celebrated -- along with 250+ close friends -- the one year anniversary of the introduction of OpenSocial. It was a great opportunity for everyone involved to get together and reflect on the past year, brainstorm about what's in store for the next year, and write a bunch of code.

To wrap things up, there were several good sessions:

• OpenSocial State of the Union [ VIDEO SLIDES ]
• OpenSocial 0.9 Preview [ VIDEO SLIDES ]
• Several app developers sharing their experiences and tips
• Updates from more than a dozen OpenSocial containers
• Demos of tools available that improve the OpenSocial developer experience
  
• Breakout sessions about OpenSocial 0.9, various app architectures, and using OpenSocial "outside" containers
• The day after, there was also a well-attended deep dive to discuss the prototypes for OpenSocial 0.9

You can find links to all the videos and presentations on the OpenSocial Birthday agenda, and on the OpenSocial Foundation's new YouTube channel.

One of the most exciting pieces of the event was the realization that developers using OpenSocial can now reach more than 600M users across more than 20 sites -- a number that is ever growing (some highlights are featured in the chart below):


In terms of launches during the event, MySpace launched support for OpenSocial v0.8, Xiaonei launched support for OpenSocial to their 30M users in China, and OpenSocial.org got a fresh new look. In addition, during the past year we've -- collectively -- achieved some other good results:

• 315M+ app installs
• 85M+ daily canvas page views
• 7,500+ applications
• 20+ live containers

All in all, it was great to get the community together, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone get involved on the wiki, in the spec list, and building apps. Special thanks to RockYou for helping sponsor the party.

... and yes, we even sang "Happy Birthday" to OpenSocial over cake (check out some of the pics below).

LinkedIn Launched InApps Platform with OpenSocial

I'm happy to report that LinkedIn just launched their Intelligent Applications Platform (InApps), built using the OpenSocial 0.8 specification. This initial release features a healthy set of productivity applications, which provide new avenues for collaboration across the 30 million users on LinkedIn. It's exciting to see LinkedIn paving the way for a whole new type of OpenSocial applications, and thus expanding OpenSocial into the professional context.

The apps available today come from companies such as Amazon, TripIt, SlideShare, and Google. You can start using the applications by visiting the LinkedIn Application Directory. LinkedIn works closely with each developer to ensure a good user experience and chooses partners based on the professional utility of applications, the quality of technology and content, and the integrity of the company's privacy practices.

For those interested in building applications on LinkedIn, there is a lot of good news:

• As part of OpenSocial 0.8, LinkedIn deployed a REST endpoint with OAuth support
• There are unique monetization opportunities for apps built for LinkedIn
• LinkedIn is offering support for all of the "viral" messaging channels defined in OpenSocial:
  • requestSendMessage
  • requestShareApp
  • activities integration directly into "Network Updates"
• InApps is built using Shindig (Java)
• Going forward, LinkedIn is working on support for OpenSocial 0.8.1, and providing a developer sandbox

To find out more about building an application on LinkedIn, please get in touch with LinkedIn, and come chat at the upcoming OpenSocial birthday event on November 13.

Launched: Yahoo!'s First Implementation of OpenSocial Support

Today, Yahoo is launching the developer-facing components of the Yahoo! Open Strategy. This includes our first implementation of OpenSocial support via the Yahoo! Application Platform (YAP). With this launch we are giving developers access to Yahoo!'s social data through the OpenSocial JavaScript APIs in the canvas views of their applications. This is a big step for Yahoo! and adds to the success of OpenSocial as the portable way to write social applications on the Web.

This is just the beginning for YAP and OpenSocial. As a founding member of the OpenSocial Foundation, Yahoo! is committed to supporting the complete OpenSocial specification and is working with the community to expand the specification to include OSML and OpenSocial templates. In addition, we are currently implementing a Shindig-based OpenSocial container which will allow us to provide full support for the OpenSocial REST Protocols and thus for Portable Contacts.

As part of our support for OpenSocial's JavaScript API, we are leading the way to a more secure Internet by using the open source Caja technology from Google to ensure the safety of our users. The advantage of this technology is that we can allow applications to go live on Yahoo! without review, thus saving time for our developers to go from code to launch. There may be some things that you wish to do with your applications that are not presently supported by Caja, but we feel that ensuring our user's security will over time help all of us reap rewards. Over time, we will work with the Caja project to ensure that the widest, most secure JavaScript support will be available in our container.

This is all part of a broader release today called Yahoo! Open Strategy (Y!OS) v1.0, through which we are rewiring Yahoo! to create a horizontal social dimension and are making Yahoo! open to developers and publishers like never before — including opening our data and the extensibility of our products.

Today's Y!OS release includes not just our initial release of OpenSocial support via YAP. It also includes the Yahoo! Social Platform (YSP), which is powering our OpenSocial APIs, and access to a new data query interface called Yahoo! Query Language (YQL). We are working with the OpenSocial community to explore standardization of some of these extensions. We invite you to learn more about all of these components at the Yahoo! Developer Network.

The overall rollout of Y!OS will be like rolling thunder across Yahoo! as we head into the next few months and 2009. We will be activating our "social dimension" across Yahoo! by integrating our Social Platform into everything we do. And we'll also continue to open Yahoo! like never before with increased data access and by integrating YAP and OpenSocial into some of the world's most trafficked Web sites, like My Yahoo! and the Yahoo front page at http://yahoo.com/.

Yahoo's audience is truly worldwide and our platform is fully internationalized from the beginning, ready for use in 31 countries and growing. We think it's the beginning of an exciting time for Yahoo!, for our users, for open application development, open standards, and for OpenSocial. Check out Yahoo! Developer Network today and stay tuned for more OpenSocial news to come.

Netlog.com launches OpenSocial with instant translation in Europe for 35 million users!

Netlog, the European social networking site, has just made their OpenSocial 0.7 application platform available to more than 35 million members. OpenSocial, a set of common APIs for building social applications, provides a common infrastructure for the social web that enables both developers and websites to focus resources on their unique features rather than on dealing with different types of plumbing. Netlog developers can now develop for not only its 35 million members, but any of the 300 million users who are part of OpenSocial-enabled networks. Netlog only accepts fully integrated applications offering a clear added value and refuses applications forcing the user to leave the site, install the application or invite friends.

Since one of the most important features of Netlog is its extended localization, every applications should be available in all of the 23 languages the site currently supports. To make the localisation process easy, Netlog has opened its translation capabilities to third-party developers to provide seamless translation of any OpenSocial application. Developers write the application in one of the 23 languages and Netlog will do the translation for the other 22.

Developers receive 100% of the advertising revenue on the application page. Developers will also be granted access to Netlog's OpenSocial extension for the "Credit Economy". While Netlog expects most applications to be free, it gives developers the opportunity to monetize by charging credits for certain premium features in the application or for installing the application itself. By using the credit api, developers can easily tap into Netlog's micropayment channels available in more than 30 countries.

All the information for developers to get started with OpenSocial on Netlog is available at http://en.netlog.com/go/developer.
