Everyone’s buzzing about OpenSocial, Google’s open social networking platform play. Since the leaks and now the announcement, it looks like virtually every social network except Facebook is on board, and the prognosticating about what this may mean for developers and for the social networking landscape is in full swing. Brady chimed in on Radar, Richard McManus has his thoughts here, and Bill Tancer’s data magic is very revealing about the significance of this initiative. Good thing Brady has skillfully arranged for Web 2.0 Expo Berlin to host the first in-depth look at the API, courtesy of Google’s Patrick Chanezon. The session is scheduled for next Tuesday at 3:50 pm in the Development track. I’d suggest you get there early for this session if you want a seat.
