About Professionals
We have a team of skilled professionals to build your applications using these APIs. Our company can build applications using these APIs on any platform (.Net, PHP, Java). Platform choice can also depend upon the current product you have. We generally prefer a user friendly flex UI for your application.
Open Social and Facebook API’s
These common APIs have been designed to let developers create social networking applications that will run on multiple websites, simplifying the making and distribution of these programs. Partners supporting OpenSocial include various well-known software developers and social networking sites: Oracle, Salesforce.com, Hi5, iLike, LinkedIn, Slide, Ning, Friendster and Plaxo. Facebook has launched its own set of APIs.
Importance
About 7,000 such applications have been built for Facebook so far, helping to make the social networking site more attractive to people and thus boosting its usage. MySpace recently announced that it would follow Facebook's example.
Once considered a fad of interest, mostly to teens and young adults, social networks have significantly broadened their demographic appeal, attracting many people in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond.
By allowing developers to write an application once and have it work in multiple social networking sites, the OpenSocial initiative opens great opportunity to promote the products and applications.
