That's great! :) I think it'll make things a lot easier to the new orkut developers.

More information below. > > * > * > > <http://www.orkut.com/Main#Application?appId=876096229684> > *What is *OrkutDevBox*?* > OrkutDevBox is an OpenSocial code playground for Orkut.

Show Viewer and Owner Names > 2. Show Viewer Info > 3. List 20 Friends > 4. List 20 Friends with Pictures > 5. List All Friends > 6. AppData Load and Save > 7. Posting an Activity > 8. Posting an Activity with Modal Notification > 9. Send Private Message > 10. Requesting Data From Remote Servers > 11. Listing Albums > 12. Creating Album > 13. Update Albums > 14. Mosaic with All Photos > 15. Handling Errors > > > *Didn't we already have a code playground (OpenSocial DevApp)?* > Yes.

It is intended to be used to write quick experimental > snippets, not to write full applications, but you can of course copy and > paste your code and save elsewhere. > > > We hope you like this app. Feel free to send any feedback! > > Thank you! > > - > Bruno Oliveira (Google) > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "orkut Developer Forum" group. > To post to this group, send email to opensocial-orkut@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > opensocial-orkut+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-orkut?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "orkut Developer Forum" group.
