Greetings,
ELC Tech will be presenting the next big thing on the web. If you
thought Facebook API was cool, imagine the Facebook API for all social
sites, now you've got OpenSocial. This effort is being championed by
Google and others. More and more sites are signing up and ELC has
developed a Rails plugin that will let you use this new standard with
ease.
If you want to find out what everyone's going to be talking about,
come on over to the woz and join us for the January meetup.
Hope to see you there...
- Will
Here's the blurb from their press release:
ELC developed its OpenSocial Container using a combination of Ruby on
Rails, and Javascript, allowing developers to quickly and simply
deploy new OpenSocial applications. ELC?s OpenSocial container
provides a secure host for Ruby on Rails developers to use the
OpenSocial API calls in a controlled fashion. The ELC OpenSocial
Container also provides an open, well-documented, and portable
platform to create new OpenSocial APIs that can be used for multiple
social media sites.
"We have a number of social networking clients, such as Cisco and
MediaTrust, who retain ELC to help develop next-generation social
media applications and also desire to support OpenSocial. Developing
an open source plug-in was a logical step for ELC," said Ryan Garver,
CTO of ELC Technologies. "With the release of this open source plug-in
for OpenSocial, we hope to make it easier for the Ruby on Rails
community to bring new third-party OpenSocial plug-ins to emerging
social networking sites."
Since the release of Google's OpenSocial API November 1st, a number of
social networking communities have embraced the new API, including
Plaxo, LinkedIn, MySpace, and Six Apart. The ELC container supports
the three common OpenSocial APIs: the People and Friends API that lets
applications update profile and contact information; the Activities
data API that lets applications view and publish ?actions?; and the
Persistence API that lets applications edit content for an existing
application, user, or gadget and query the content using an existing
feed (ideal for pushing content to gadgets).
