I am curious about something. Did you guys implement the OpenSocial data
APIs? For example, GET from {domain}/feeds/people/{userid} ?
We've just started getting our data api implementation out there. You
can see http://api.hi5.com/ for some minimal docs on where this is
going.
This seems to be the 2nd half of the OpenSocial equation that I don't see
anyone talking about; the ability to blend info on my friends from
different sites into a combined view.
Right, there are a lot of open loops to be closed on this. Expect to
hear more about this in the coming weeks. For example there are moves
towards OAuth, moving to an opensocial namespace for data, and more.
I haven't seen any way in the javascript API to specify where the data comes
from. Maybe this is a temporary oversight. On the other hand, SPI
implementers could provide this via server-side extensions... IF people
support the data API.
That's correct. This won't happen overnight though.
