Recently Googles orkut followed footsteps of facebook and opened orkut website to developers, which means developers can built apps that cna be consumed by orkut members and use orkuts data.

More importantly Google has built orkut on the open social platform which promises to make every social website a container which can lend itself to be used by application developers to harness the social data that these social networks have to make application which can leverage these relationships between friends and networks.

In the coming time as the race to become a container for opensocial platform becomes hotter, application developers who know how opensocial platform works and facebook application will see a huge demand.

As stated on google blog a social web is good, but it will not come without its share of problems. We will write more about the negative impacts of the opensocial platform in the next series.
