Welcome to OpenSocial.org, the main site for all information about OpenSocial. This site currently houses the canonical copies of the OpenSocial specification as well as the homepage of the OpenSocial Foundation, and will evolve to include more documentation and information. Today, if you are looking for developer articles, please look here.

Specification

OpenSocial defines a common API for social applications across multiple websites. Built from standard JavaScript and HTML, developers can create apps with OpenSocial that access a social network's friends and update feeds. By using a common API, developers can extend the reach of their applications more quickly, yielding more functionality for users. For more details about the API, review the Technical Resources.

Foundation (New!)

The OpenSocial Foundation is a non-profit corporation created to sustain the free and open development of OpenSocial specifications. To read more about the proposed foundation, and to get involved, please review the OpenSocial Foundation section.
