OpenSocial
Google has announced an OpenSocial network platform. This was the buzz during the week of November 1, 2007.  OpenSocial gives developers standardized tools to write applications and embed them in different sites. This is considered competition for Facebook.  Facebook recently announced that it will stay a private company.  Facebook has received popularity by inviting developers to its meetups to gather developers together and to have them use Facebook tools on different applications.  Now with Google’s OpenSocial, what will be the fate of Facebook?

 

 

For the attorney, the future of Google and Facebook may be of interest to keep up to pace with the technology when negotiating license agreements, and when understanding engineering projects.

 

Will this new venture by Google succeed?  It seems that Google announces many new tools, but never seems to make the tools as good as the market leader of the moment.  For instance, there have been complaints about gmail versus other free email systems.  One issue is that the subject lines seem to gather messages meant to be separate conversations. 

 

Open source programming is becoming more powerful.  Will OpenSocial continue the popularity?  At a recent MCLE event in East Palo Alto, Google attorneys almost dominated the room.  It seems that attorneys from other companies need to step up to obtain more interest in the GPL3 and other open source license agreements.
