Open SocialUma nova ferramenta será lançada nessa quinta-feira pelo Google, o Open Social - um projeto ousado que visa ser uma API social aberta à toda internet. O projeto compete diretamente com o Facebook e inclui parceiros como Orkut (do próprio Google), LinkedIn, Hi5, Friendster, Salesforce.com, Oracle, iLike, Flixster, RockYou, e Slide.

Open Social is very practical. Many standards die an early death because they are too complicated and hard to implement. Open Social is what you want in a standard — it’s expansive enough to do useful things, but limited enough to be very easy to implement, both for containers and for apps. (..) Is based entirely on Javascript. If you know HTML and Javascript today, you will be able to immediately use Open Social to turn your web applications and web sites into Open Social apps. This is very, very good for the web. Open Social is the kind of standard that web developers love, and can easily use.

Pesquisa analisa uso do Twitter

September 30th, 2007

twitterO Committee to Protect Bloggers elaborou uma pesquisa para analisar como o Twitter é utilizado por veículos noticiosos.

A enquete, além de mostrar a importância que o site conquistou, deixa claro que o Twitter já deixou de ser uma ferramenta geek e está conquistando cada vez mais usuários normais e veículos (ex.: G1). Fácil perceber isso quando amigos seus que não trabalham com internet começam a usar intensamente o serviço, e isso já começou a acontecer.
