There are really 2 ways to get OpenSocial gadgets on your website. The first is by using FriendConnect: google.com/friendconnect With FriendConnect you don't have to code anything (just cut and past some html), nor do you have to do any work to implement a social graph etc, and you get the benefit that the activities of your users will also get posted on the supported social sites which means their friends will learn about your site.
The second way is to become an OpenSocial container, then you would use shindig, http://incubator.apache.org/shindig and implement everything your self. The benifit is that you could use your own local social graph & authentication, but it does involve a lot more work :) For an example on how to use the php version of shindig, check out Partuza: http://code.google.com/p/partuza it's an example SNS that demonstrates how to do all the nitty-gritty details of implementing OpenSocial support. Hope that helps! -- Chris On Sun, Dec 7, 2008 at 6:37 PM, Ayan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi > > I am very very new to the exciting world of OpenSocial.
