OpenSocial Opinions

Tim is right. When I first heard about OpenSocial I was interested. Now, I'm far from impressed and honestly think it is a waste of time.

It seems the idea of creating an API is getting closer and closer to the forefront. Yes, I realize most sites do have an API, but I'm talking about making it possible for publishing an API as simple as publishing content. The great thing about publishing text is that it is immediately consumable by a huge audience of real people and machines. Most web APIs are simply documentation for some text and we need to push this a bit.

I personally see the future with blips, but that is just me.
