Google has announced that they will be partnering with MySpace and several other social networks over a common set of APIs for social applications across multiple websites.
What does that mean for you?
It means that all of the cool applications that made Facebook such a useful place to go to are now going to be available across multiple social networks (should the developers make them available).
What does that mean for your company?
It means that should you design a compelling application, you now have access to nearly 200 million people that can place said application in their social network of choice. That’s a lot of exposure! Click here to see a quick video showing how Flixter (a popular Facebook application) is utilizing OpenSocial within MySpace. Or see the video below to hear the Flixter Founders talking about Google OpenSocial.
