MySpace Joining Google's OpenSocial

Peter Kafka | November 1, 2007 11:00 AM

We hear Google is planning to announce yet another partner to its anti-Facebook coalition today -- News Corp.'s MySpace. Haven't confirmed. Look for an announcement by the end of the day. This makes a lot of sense for both sides -- MySpace has the social networking clout that none of Google's other partners have, and anything that can help MySpace steal back some mindshare from Facebook -- both in terms of users and developers -- is a good thing.

Follow Up: Facebook investor Jim Breyer says he's not opposed to working with OpenSocial

换热器介绍： 换热器是实现化工生产过程中热量交换和传递不可缺少的设备。热交换器在热量交换中常有一些腐蚀性、氧化性很强的物料，因此，要求制造换热器的材料具有抗强腐蚀性能。
反应釜 介绍:反应釜由锅体、锅盖、搅拌器、夹套、支承及传动装置、轴封装置等组成，热交换器材质及开孔可根据用户的工艺要求制定。
反应锅介绍： 反应锅由锅体、锅盖、搅拌器、电加热油夹管、支承及传动装置、轴封装置、溢油槽等组成，并配有电加热棒及测温、测压表。
冷凝器介绍： 蒸发冷凝器，采用引风、逆流式结构，因此，维修方便使用寿命长，节水电运行费用低，不污染环境，使用寿命长及维修简便等众多优点。

化工设备介绍：
　　本公司产品：反应锅以设计、生产非标、反应釜非金属化工设备为主， 依材质可分为：R-PVC、纯PP、改性PP、FRP以及上述塑料的FRP增强，亦制碳钢、铝、不锈钢等金属设备。冷凝器按设备种类可分：贮罐(槽)、反应釜、填料塔、反应锅离子交换柱、冶金萃取槽、电镀槽、三废处理成套设备、汽车(船)运槽罐、反应釜塑料离心风机等，本厂设备广泛用于化工、染(颜)料、医药、冶金、食品、交通、石油、环保等行业。

Yeah but seriously, open source or not, is Myspace ever going to be anything bigger than whining little emo kids who have over pimped their profile beyond readability and tolerability?

Facebook, although I can't stand it, is growing at an incredible rate and where Myspazz still has the "critical mass", Facebook will eventually catch up. Also, who are more likely to succeed from a marketing point of view? A company advertising to underage kids on Myspace or marketing towards the disposable income of the aged 20+ generation?

FUCK social networks, they are so full of ballsacks. PS. I don't count myself out as being a complete scrotum because I am on every social orientated site. That's why I can say they are shit and I hate them.

Checkmate! Game over. Facebook is toast! Why? Because if Facebook joins Google's OpenSocial they would be admitting defeat and become just another sheep in Google's herd but if they don't join they will die a slow and painful death. Why?Because Google is offering to host the apps that developers create on it's platform which means developers don't have to pay for hosting fees or bandwidth. Many apps that became popular on Facebook caused their owners more money to maintain due to increased bandwidth than they were making from ads. As a result few saw any real profits.This addresses that problem. I can't help but wonder what the executives who defected from Goggle to Facebook when Facebook was the flavor of the week are thinking now. Probably something like...oh s___!what have I done! Make no mistake this is a killer app. Advertisers only care about the bottom line and who can deliver it best. Thousands of websites using the same common API(not a day will go by from this day forward without a major website announcing they're joining Googles/Myspace OpenSocial)or one website,Facebook using a variation of HTML that's not compatible with anything. Myspace and Google together is a unbeatable one two punch. Besides, Facebook is still on a learning curve as can be seen by how they are constantly changing their developers documentation and rules for conducting business on the platform not to mention apps disappearing into thin air. Google/Myspace is the gold standard and will implement OpenSocial much more smoothly. Google/Myspace was in the widget game way before Facebook opened up to developers only six months ago. Facebook is a walled garden and it indiscriminately picks and chooses which apps get high visibility while it tweaks it's platform to keep other apps from succeeding. Also they deny apps submission into their directory on a whim thus a large underground subset of apps some of which are very popular will migrate from Facebook where they were denied entry for no apparent reason over to Google/Myspace. Facebook belongs to a bunch of nouveau riche wannabe stuckup spoiled brats who thought they had the world on a string. Now they must eat humble pie and bow down and kiss the ring that is Google/Myspace. Oh well,so much for Facebooks 15 billion dollar valuation. They'll be lucky if they can get 1 billion now. Why develope on Facebook which claims to have 50 million members when you can develope on Google's/Myspace platform which has 200 million members...do the math. Stick a fork in it! Facebook is toast!

Thanks for the coverage on this. There's been a lot of speculation and geek speak, but I've tried another angle: Explaining it to executives who will make the decision on this.

Google laid the hammer down by announcing OpenSocial. For those out there that thought that Facebook was the next big thing and would lead to Google’s eventual downfall, think again. Google has done it again by strategically abstracting themselves from the social network wars: http://fishtrain.com/2007/11/01/opensocial-social-unification/
