OpenSocial - Should you trust Google?

Last week I was in Bangalore for a WebInnovation seminar during which I asked Marc Canter (Co-founder Macromedia and CEO of Broadband Mechanics - PeopleAggregator)...

'In the last week three partners of Google's OpenSocial (Friendster, Bebo and LinkedIn) have announced their individual platforms...why so? Do they not trust Google entirely?'

Marc's reply wasn't really clear - he talked about Bebo partnering with both Facebook and Google and then took the question on a different tangent...about MySpace and how they might never open their own APIs and how they are losing the social network war against Facebook.

Anyways I came across an interview of Marc today and here are a few excerpts from it:

Why shouldn't a company go for existing social platform (say from Google when it launches such a platform) rather than building its own?

It shouldn't. Absolutely not! Today, social networking is a commodity. It is same everywhere. Most sites have standard features, personal page, login page, group page etc. However, to have a compelling online experience you need not only differ from competitors, but also offer something more compelling.

Social networking features need to be everywhere; whether as a productivity suite or as an e-commerce tool.

There is a lot of money to be made in social networking. I believe the company who embraces it in the beginning will be the leader.

How is Google's OpenSocial different from existing social networks?

Today, OpenSocial mimics Facebook. It should be called open widget. However, this is just the opening move of a chess game. This is not the end but the beginning. The beginning for Google was to identify a hole in Facebook's strategy.

Facebook was great when it opened its platform to developers in May. The site was immediately flooded with several interesting applications. However, in the end, Facebook is just another closed system. It locks in its customers. In the end, it only works when you go to them.

Unlike Facebook, OpenSocial does not have its own markup language. It allows developers to write in normal java script and html with only minor adjustments needed for the code to work on its platform. Facebook requires use of FBML (Facebook Markup Language) for security reasons, but it also makes code unusable outside Facebook. OpenSocial will especially attract small developers who can create 'learn once, write anywhere' applications.

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are today one way. But they should be two-way. OpenSocial will be first two-way API. Watch Google, it will get APIs into Maps, RSS Reader, spreadsheets and all probable places.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Wishing all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Also wishing you Happy Development on the OpenSocial platform. We've been developing a couple of apps and are waiting for the Data APIs.

I think it'll take at least a good week or 2 after Google releases the Data APIs for any really cool app to get launched.

In the meanwhile enjoy this funny Christmas viral:

Orkut - OpenSpam

Though Orkut have introduced some new tweaks via which you can make your Album and Scrapbook restricted from the public - they've just been hounded with yet another problem!

Scrapbook Spam!

Recently someone created a script that allows you to so send scraps to multiple users at one go. Here's a screenshot of my Orkut Scrapbook and notice the "To scrap all your friends at once, click here!" beneath each post.



Though this might be a convenient tool for some (senders) it's a pretty annoying tool for the others (receivers).

What's dis-heartening is that Orkut has yet to respond to this with a basic filter mechanism. These are the same Google guys who are preaching a totally SPAM free environment for OpenSocial.

But a tight regulation on Spam might effect the viral nature of some apps and only the heavy-weights (like Slide, RockYou) might benefit.

OpenSocial - The opening move of a Chess game

This is just a thought provoking post. Get thinking. No matter what time of the day it is....
Take a couple of minutes off and just visualise the future.

The first move was a widget / appl platform, then was the Android gambit and the Google Profile defense coupled with a strategic attack with Knol.

OpenSocial is not going to be about just widgets, gadgets and apps. It's just the tip of the iceberg. What's in store?

Imagine a system which is so powerful - which knows who you are, who you are talking to and who you are ignoring. What you are doing and what your friends are noticing you doing? What you are buying and what your friends are buying? What you are searching for and what your friends are searching for? What kind of photos you are clicking and tagging and what your friends are clicking and tagging and what you are commenting on? Imagine someone who knows what you buy and what influences your decision to buy?

A girl who happens to be in your college and her profile page is one of your most regularly visited online spot - and you are keen on impressing her and the system knows that you are keen on impressing her and the system knows her more than you ever will...
So what does the system do? The system uses it's power...

How? What? Why?
ADVERTISING perhaps is at the base of it all. Unbelievable micro-level targetting. A system which know what you buy and what is had to do to make you buy something else.

A system which knows that at 15 past 11 AM everyday in the morning you happen to take a short break and glance at the Stock Markets - this is when you are most vulnerable to the ad of a financial product - And bang! There it is. The system is going to know each and everything about your online as well as offline behaviour. It's going to know that at 7PM you are going to be stuck in a traffic jam and are most probably surfing the web via your smart phone...

The system is Google.
And we are soon going to know...exactly how open...
...social is really going to be.

OpenSocial Partners

A lot of activity is being seen in the Social Network scene with Bebo launching it's own platform on the lines of Facebook and LinkedIn & Friendster also launching their platforms last week. It seems like most of the Social Networks are keen on having their own platforms up and running rather than relying only on Google's OpenSocial - which might be a pretty smart thing to do.

Anyways here is a list of all OpenSocial partners:

Bebo - Very popular Social Network in Europe especially the UK.

Engage - A dating centric Social Networking website.

Friendster - Very popular in South East Asia.

Hi5 - A social network which sees global usage with no particular country dominating demographics.

Hyves - Extrememly popular in the Netherlands

imeem - A popular Social Media service site.

LinkedIn - The most popular Professional Social Networking site. These guys recently launched their own platform and opened it for 3rd party developers.

NetModular - Social Networking + Blogging platform.

mixi - A very popular social networking site in Japan.

MySpace - One of the largest if not THE largest Social Networking site in the world.

Ning - An online platform for users to create their own social networks.

Oracle - One of the major companies developing database management systems and tools for database development.

Plaxo - Online address book service.

Salesforce - Salesforce.com is an on-demand CRM solution vendor. They have something called AppExchange which is a way for external developers to create add-on applications that will link into the main Salesforce.com system.

Six Apart - Creators of Movable Type, Typepad, Vox and former owners of LiveJournal.

Tianji - Chinese Professional Networking site

Viadeo - Another professional social networking site.

Xing - Yet another professional social networking site. Majority of users are Germans.

Plaxo and Ning released OpenSocial support within the first day of the launch, with Plaxo adding OpenSocial support to its Pulse feature and Ning adding basic OpenSocial support.

Developers who had already built applications implementing the APIs upon launch include Flixster, FotoFlexer, iLike, RockYou, Slide, Theikos, and VirtualTourist. We'll have details about all these apps soon.

Google Profile - A link in the OpenSocial chain?

Presenting the GProfile...



Google Profiles will be integrated in most Google services so you have a coherent identity and a simple way to manage your contacts.

Until now, you could create profiles in Blogger, orkut, Google Groups, Google Co-op and all of them could contain different information. You could also add photos in Gmail, Google Talk and orkut, so the situation started to become confusing.

"A Google Profile is simply how you represent yourself on Google products — it lets you tell others a bit more about who you are and what you're all about. You control what goes into your Google Profile, sharing as much (or as little) as you'd like."

Profiles are public and contain basic information about yourself: a nickname (the real name is displayed only to your contacts), your occupation, your location, a list of links, a photo and a short description. They are embedded as iframes in pages that showcase user-generated content (personalized maps, shared bookmarks).

These profiles could be the perfect host of ones activity stream and thats where I see the OpenSocial connection. Your public activities could become part of your profile...

Via: Google System

Facebook F8 vs Google OpenSocial

The Facebook F8 platform pretty much revolutionised the face of Social Networking. Opening up ones architecture for other parties required great courage and Facebook were able to successfully pull it off.

Growing valuation and massive increase in usage meant that Google had to respond. Orkut was and is still hardly used in the United States. It's not too popular with the Europeans either. Google knew that simply opening up their social network to 3rd party developers wouldn't be the best of options.

So what...?

They decided to go one step further and decided to come up with a system which would seamlessly fit into a lot of other social networks and together all of them would be able to beat Facebook with Google being the adhesive binding them all.

But will they be able to succeed?

3 reasons OpenSocial might be able to beat Facebook?

1) Developers might not need to make 10 or 15 different applications based on the API's of various different Social Networks. This is the prime weapon.

2) Streaming data out of the system - as compared to only feeding in the content. Allowing 3rd party applications a medium where they really stand to benefit in terms of traffic, usage and the ability to impart a better feel of personalization. Perhaps allowing inter-connectivity between Social Networks.
For eg: My flixster account is connected to all the Social Networks which I am on - and not limited to just one social network. If I write a film review on a movie on my Orkut Flixster app - all my MySpace friends get alerted about it too.

A lot of users might have accounts in multiple social networks - and many are pretty active in at least 2-3 of them. Especially when it comes to niche social networks.

3) Language. Facebook is highly limited to an English speaking audience currently and this is where the OpenSocial can really WIN big. Having a set of APIs where the back-end of an application works efficiently and the front-end serving up different languages depending on nationality, country and language spoken.

3 reasons Facebook might still have the last laugh?

1) Facebook has the most monetisable traffic - the US traffic. It's not to bad in the European countries either. Facebook Apps have increased pageviews and time spent on the spent to an incredible extent as compared to pre-F8 days.

2) They are the first movers. Few apps on Facebook have become the very reason why users log on to their Facebook accounts daily. Apps grow on you before they get virally spread and massively used and this has already happened on Facebook.

3) Facebook has Social Networking at it's core while Google has Search as it's primary focal point.

DoodleMe - OpenSocial-App - Review

One more .. Smart OpenSocial App.. from iWiddit Team.
Let me just Copy and Paste What iWiddit says about their DoodleMe opensocial Application :

DoodleMe Board creates a drawing board on your webpage, and allows your friends to publish drawings on your profile. DoodleMe Board requires no plugins, and can work in virtually any web browser. You decide who can publish the board, as well as what color the board should be. Now your friends can leave you messages that you can really see! The board itself features 11 colors, different drawing widths, and ample chalk supply, but most importantly, when the drawing is finished, it can be published for all to see! This application will be configured to work with all opensocial containers. Let your friends draw pictures on your web profile! Get the XML: http://www.iwiddit.com/xml/doodleMeBoard_0.5_rel.xml

Screenshots:

Both images below depict DoodleMe Board running in Google's Orkut opensocial container. Using only thier mouse, visitors to your page can draw pictures, or write messages and save them for you and the rest of your visitors to see, but only if you allow them to.

DoodleMe sounds very known and the name itself says what the app is allabout. So franckly .. you really dont need to go ahead and explain what itz for... Right...by this the game is half won.. now what helps the user to make use of it the User Interface and simplicity in it.

I personally liked the way its done. - Clear and Simple. But i guess a bit of more work on UI front would have helped users.. to play around more. I would have simply adapted Paint Brush Layout. The reason behind is People find it easy to see what they have already tried out or Looked at. Even my mom.. knows how to use Paint Brush :) But i say "It Worth Adding this App to your Profile" - Great Job, once again.

My Photo Puzzle - by Dustin Jorge / iWiddit.com

My Photo Puzzle is a simple but very personalized/Customizable Puzzle game. The catch here is.. its not our usual Puzzle game where the SKIN is FIXED and we cant customize it.. Its Dynamic so we can plug in our Image path (web only) and with basic setting a cool Puzzle is ready to be played.

Image 1. My Photo Puzzle

Image 2. I like the way we can customize it.(Please click on the Image to View Large Size Image)

On Game Page / Canvas page.. (Image 1) have marked in red.. can you see that..? well that link takes me to the App details page. Hosted on their server which displays Sharing and Views Count. Chk this out.

(Please click on the Image to View Large Size Image)

Now this is something i always thought of doing it. With the App Info Page i can get to see who all installed my app.. check if its doing good or not with help of Sharing and View Countes. Over a very nice app. must say that the Developer really worked hard to get this up in a situation where we are still facing problem accessing Sandbox.

Orkut Open Social : Bookmarks

Here are some of the URL's for people who are planning to Develop Open Social Apps / gadgets

1.Anatomy of an Orkut Application :

An Orkut application is comprised of several parts, all of which combine to form a structured user experience. As you develop your application, we recommend this guide as both a checklist of components which should be utilized, as well as a means to understand the relationship between these components:

1. Application Directory
2. Directory Listing
3. My Applications
4. Left Navbar Link
5. Canvas View
6. Showcase View
7. Friend Update
   

URL : http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/articles/anatomy.html (Chkout the Screenshot)

2. Open Social Documentation : The OpenSocial API is a set of common APIs for building social applications on many websites. There are two ways to access the OpenSocial API: client-side using the JavaScript API and server-side using RESTful data APIs.

URL : http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/

3. The OpenSocial Container Sample : Container is intended to be used for testing gadgets and, for container implementors, to provide a preview of the version 0.5 Service Provider Interface (SPI). It does not provide adequate security for production usage or wide deployment, but can be used for internal testing and demonstrations.

URL : http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-container-sample/

4. Open Social Application Directory : Now this is something you have to bookmark it. Try spending more of your time on this page to get an ruff idea how people are moving into app development.

Orkut OpenSocial App : Emote

Tried out Emote Dev. by RockYou Today. I like the way the app displays the content depending on the page its Loaded (Showcase View or Canvas View). Here is the Screen shot of it
Now with this sort of Showcase view it looks Perfect as an App. rather then just dumping the app right on the Profile Page. Some Tips on How an app should be displayed on Profile page.
1. Make use of the small area Perfectly by making it more attractive and the same time it should describes the purpose of the app.
2. No Sound please : If its a Flash Game, App, E-card, Viral Animation.. Please Keep the sound in Mute Mode. Take a case where a person installs a Game and an E-card both with sound once its loaded... Person like me who usually browse through Profile mostly during late hours ..coz that the time i usually network.. and think of a situation when all Apps Starts making noise .. at one particular movement.. MAN!! i hate.. and i guess we all do.. So NO SOUND on Load of the App on Profile Page
3. Make your App's "Showcase View" in such a way that it consume less net usage or minimal.

Emote App : Review
Well its not working fully but looking at the UI it looks that most of will find it easy to use.


Cant comment much on it as its still under development Process.

Explaining OpenSocial to your Executives by Jeremiah Owyang

There’s so many people talking at the developer, strategist, and marketing level, I’m going to take it up for another audience, feel free to repurpose this content any way you want.

You: A web decision maker
As a Web Strategist, you are someone who is partially or wholly responsible for the long-term direction of your website, or the website of your client(s). You have to explain the announcement to your boss (or you are the boss), I’m going to help.

[Using mini-applications, companies can now efficiently extend their website experience to existing communities on popular social networks]

Terms

Social Network: An existing network or community where people of similar interest share. MySpace, LinkedIn, and Hi5 are examples.

Mini-application, app, widget: These applications, created by third party developers or your company can sit on top of these existing thriving communities of connected people.

Platform, Container, Social Network: Where the mini-applications ’sit’ on top of and interact

API: The common code shared among platforms and developers of mini-applications

Situation: Nov 1st the “OpenSocial” is announced
Decisions are made on communities where trusted members share as a result, savvy companies go where their market is.

We’ve hit a milestone on how the web is becoming amorphous, data is about to be shared easily and quickly in a fluid way. Google and several other social networks in the alliance launched OpenSocial on Nov 1st. Microsoft, Yahoo, and Facebook are not part of the announcement (yet).

Four months ago, Facebook allowed third party companies to build mini-applications in their site, this is similar in concept, but now includes many other players.

‘Platform’ or ‘Container’ where your mini-application can extend to: MySpace, Bebo, SixApart, Orkut, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Ning, Hi5, Plaxo, Friendster, Viadeo and Oracle.

What is Open Social?

Google says: “OpenSocial provides a common set of APIs for social applications across multiple websites. With standard JavaScript and HTML, developers can create apps that access a social network’s friends and update feeds.”

Translation: Social Networks, and other websites (we can call them platforms or containers) can let mini-websites (applications or widgets) to be shared and interact with existing online communities (social networks, social graphs, communities).

Example: A company that sells a variety of blenders from their website can now create a mini-application that can be shared on any of the social networks that have agreed to participate in OpenSocial. The blender-related application will interact with each of these communities, and could benefit from features of users sharing, rating, and reccomending blenders to their friends. The blender application could reach new audiences that will interact with it, extending your reach.

Important Concept: Distributed
Web Marketing no longer is limited to your corporate site. Let go of the concept of ‘driving traffic to your website’ as a sole measurement of success. The web, it’s message, and your battles are now fought on the open and distributed web. Trusted decisions between prospects and customers are made on these social communities and networks, savvy executives need to go there.

Opportunities

Efficient development: Since there’s standardization in the code use (APIs) If you develop an application for OpenSocial, it should be easily re-used on all the social networks that are particiating. This greatly reduced development time, you no longer need a ‘myspace strategy’ or ‘bebo strategy’.

Harness existing communities: Since these applications will be plugged into existing communities, the need to ‘build an audience’ isn’t as crucial, as you can leverage the communities where they already exist. Why build if you can easily join.

Open standards help long term: It appear that the standards and development languages are commonly known and not proprietary so it reduced the chance of vendor lock in. Having a common code (API) across all networks makes movement easier, reducing development and re-configuring in the long term. One should always be cautious, as no system is perfect.

Your existing applications become social: Now, your standalone applications can now be shared with communities. If you’ve already spend resources on creating interactive marketing, large libraries, or other projects, consider how they can be re purposed on these websites, be efficient with your resources.

Future brings social to your website: The trend clearly nods towards the direction I forsee, that social networking features (friends and connections) will be brought to the static corporate website. Soon, there will be customers, prospects and employees networked on your own corporate website. We’re not there yet, but start planning on how that will look.

Challenges

Unproven: We’re still at the start of this movement, there’s no reason to jump in as the bugs have not been identified nor corrected.

Open data opens risks: It’s not fully clear how data will be shared among the multiple platforms. By giving them access to your applications, there is risk in exposing login information, and other sensitive information. The same applies to user data, the risks are not fully known

Inconsistencies may emerge: Just because there is a common set of code (APIs) doesn’t mean all of the applications will behave across each of the platforms. There may be inconsistency as no user shares the same set of friends (social graph) on each network.

Cultural differences: Social Networks are adopted and vary by culture. From LinkedIn’s business network, to Orkut’s Brazilian users no two networks are the same. Expecting an application to work seamlessly for all applications is foolish, expect to research each community before customization.

Future authority not known: Although lead by Google, this alliances appears to be a conglomerate of many different companies involved, it’s not clear who the governing body will be, from a single group, a representative, or even Google.

[Although we’re at the unproven starting point, the opportunity is promising, companies wanting to extend their online presence should consider the distributed web (OpenSocial) into their 2008 web strategy planning]

Next Steps

1) Wait and watch: Unless you’re already have successful widgets deployed on Facebook, wait a bit, no need to jump in, let the alpha teams build and break.

2) Host internal discussion: In the meantime, have a brown bag meeting with your development team and web strategy leaders to discuss how existing applications could be repurposed, and how your future roadmaps will consider deploying.

3) Develop Strategy: Understand that this is a new sandbox and if you decide to venture, it should be experimental, and flexibility is needed. Be sure to bake measurement into the start, so you can gauge and benchmark your progress.

4) Educate: Return to this Web Strategy blog, I’ve started a new tag called OpenSocial where you can filter all posts on this topic, I’ll be posting helpful information going forward.
