The web is better when it's social.
Friends are fun, but they're only on some websites. OpenSocial helps these sites share their social data with the web. Applications that use the OpenSocial APIs can be embedded within a social network itself, or access a site's social data from anywhere on the web.
OpenSocial enables apps,containers, and other clients to collaborate and move the social web forward.
