Google OpenSocial API

I first read from Marc Andreessen’s post Open Social: a new universe of social applications all over the web about this. It’s also been techcrunched.

Google is launching OpenSocial API this week. If you are familiar with Facebook’s API platform, you will easily understand the importance of OpenSocial and how it works. Unlike Facebook’s proprietary API using FBML, FQL, ..., OpenSocial uses standard Javascript and HTML so that you can do what Facebook already does on any existing social networks.

As an app developer, you can build your application and have it run in any participating social networks (Will Facebook join one day?).

As an owner of a social network, you can participate in OpenSocial to allow your network’s app developers to build applications to live within your network, and your users to add these applications to their profiles. You can create your own social networks with Ning.

This is indeed great news for everyone as the web has become more and more customizable and flexible, and user experience will be enhanced by innovative app developers.

We will definitely think about doing this at OnMyList.

OnMyList web widget

Raymond Law — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 11:26:00 -0400

I have added a web widget to OnMyList. Check out how it looks on my sidebar. If you want to add this cool little eye catching widget to your website, follow these steps:

Create or login to your account at OnMyList
Click your username in the top right corner to go to your profile page
Under “Edit Profile” and next to “Change Password”, click “My Widgets”
Click “Create New widget”
Customize your widgets as you like
Click “Generate Widget Code”
Preview your widget to make sure it looks good
Click anywhere in the widget code box to copy and paste the HTML code to your website
Show off your widget and OnMyList love by telling all your friends!

Right now the default theme is the same as the cool theme as I did not have enough time to create more themes. If you are feeling creative, feel free to modify the CSS stylesheet that your browser downloads and send it back to us. We will consider adding your design to our theme selections and give you credit by showing your username next to the theme.

If you find any problems, please let us know.

The EC2 migration went very smoothly and it is running rock solid. Big thanks to Andrew Ng and Jeff Coppedge for their flawless migration efforts, Jeff Rector for the amazing performance tricks. Check it out at OnMyList

We encourage you to hit it hard so we can see how it performs under heavy loads.
