Developers using the
OpenSocial API can now reach tens of millions of iGoogle users! As of this week, iGoogle now
supports OpenSocial in both the US and Australia, with the plan to roll it out to more users
soon. In general, we think "social is better" when it comes to the web - activities such as
reading the news, doing a crossword puzzle, sharing a todo list, or watching a video are all
better when done with a friend. These are all things that iGoogle users love to do, so making
them social on iGoogle was the next logical next step.
