I am very much interested in the opensocial APIs promoted by the google. The moment I heard about it, 100s of ideas started forming in my mind. And I got one of them materialized the day itself. Check out the mobshare open social application.
I had been promoting the stuff a lot also, and thats when I had a chat with Vishnu about opensocial, and he pointed towards a possible problem, a problem that now J2me is also facing.
for an opensocial application to be effective we will have to customize if for every container that we want our application to run. Orkut needs its own look, we cant use the same design for myspace or linkedin.
Also most of these social networks will have its own cool features, for which they will develop additional APIs, extending the opensocial api. Now this has become like different KVM enhancements on various phones. Each phone manufacturer supports his own cool features.
Now this is a developers nightmare. Write applications and customize them for each and every container. I know every J2me developer has faced this problem. So will open social also end up like this. ?
