The first sentence of this post should read (or some similar variant): "The Google-owned social network Orkut, while extremely popular in both India and Brasil, has failed to find similar success in the U.S".<BR/><BR/>The OpenSocial API exists not solely for writing social-enabled iGoogle Gadgets, but rather to enable web developers, including, but not limited to developers of iGoogle gadgets, to harness social data from multiple places and aggregate said data in meaningful ways that typically add value to the end user's experience. From Google Code's OpenSocial API webpage located at code.google.com/apis/opensocial/, "OpenSocial defines a common API 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". This information serves to clear up the inherent, but likely unintended, falsehood in the statement, "After all, OpenSocial applications are iGoogle gadgets with a social component".<BR/><BR/>That said, Google's development and subsequent release of the OpenSocial API paves the way for many exciting social-flavored mashups on many sites and/or webapps, including iGoogle. <BR/><BR/>I should disclose that I am in no way affiliated with Google Inc., any of it's subsidiaries, partners or affiliates. I merely noticed a bit of slighly skewed information and decided to offer what I hope will be constructive criticism.ej.dystichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364701340519629260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-23745494594703383342008-04-23T01:59:00.000-07:002008-04-23T01:59:00.000-07:00I agree with siddig: we have plenty of social netw...I agree with siddig: we have plenty of social network but who knows where you will find you long lost friend, classmates, ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend?<BR/><BR/>Especially if one of them can send you a notification email when your missing friend joins!<BR/><BR/>Yoopyou can do it and you do not have to sign up to save your friend's name....<BR/><BR/>Sandor<BR/>www.yoopyou.com/members/starnoczi<BR/>www.yoopyou.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-56346927061004458252008-04-22T09:17:00.000-07:002008-04-22T09:17:00.000-07:00I knew this was gonna be the next offering.

Google will have to provide personal space to each user though. Users would prefer to share info at a profile(page) level rather than specific information at gadget level. or may be both, just like facebook.
