Dan Lester wrote a post on Allfacebook this morning about his recent fun fitting OpenSocial apps into Facebook with a Facebook app he calls OpenSocket.
The implications are both obvious and numerous, but it’s well worth noting that one of the reasons this port takes OpenSocial apps into Facebook and not vice-versa is probably because the functions available in OpenSocial are more generic and somewhat less powerful than some of the Facebook-specific functionality available through the Facebook API.
Does this mean you should ignore OpenSocket? Absolutely not.
If you’re planning on engaging with multiple networks, this could be the way to have your cake and eat it to. At least until Facebook starts supporting OpenSocial themselves.
