Another Call for OpenSocial App Thoughts

Started by manalang · 9 months ago

Last week, I asked you what OpenSocial apps you’d like to see in the Connect (and eventually Mix) app directory.
Which seeded apps? Any apps you’d like to build or see built? And generally, are you stoked about OpenSocial apps?
Not much in the comments, bu ... Continue reading »

    In the coming few weeks, Ning will expand and upgrade OpenSocial support to let members of OracleCommunity.net, and other Ning networks, easily add applications to their profiles. I'd love to exchange OpenSocial apps between OracleCommunity.net and Mix/Connect.

    We can sync up later in the year for sure; we'll get some experience under our belts with Connect. Then, we can meet to brainstorm some ideas and build something cool that will benefit both communities.

    There are some obvious areas for integration, since our membership probably overlaps a lot. Maybe syncronizing profiles? Or networks and invites? Lots of possibilities.

    Jake, Is on my list of "to do". Question, how are you containing inside the firewall right now?

    Connect lives inside the firewall, and so when we deploy the OpenSocial container, it will also live inside the firewall as part of Connect.

    We will be able to host apps originating both in/outside the firewall b/c OS apps handle their own processing and infrastructure requirements (data, h/w, bandwidth, etc.).

    In the case of OraTweet, your OS app surfaces OraTweet into Connect, and your backend still handles the processing, including the data exchanges with Twitter.

    The OS container provides the social network and surfaces the app; the app does its own processing, stores its own data and leverages the network.

    No fuss, no mess.
