How OpenSocial Actually Works: A Look Inside Hi5’s Integration - Rmail
Posted by elveston priory at 1:30 am
Hi5 CEO Ramu Yalamanchi put together a few slides for us to show how his company is using Google OpenSocial. In the example, you can see a “top friends” application that works both ways: the core functionality is built on the Google OpenSocial APIs, while the friend data is pulled in from Hi5. For Hi5 users, adding the application is as seemless as it is on Facebook. Meanwhile, data is pushed to Hi5’s “Friend Updates” area, their equivalent of Facebook’s News Feed.
Mashable blogger Mark Hopkins interviewed Yalamanchi earlier today and will be posting some more details later on.

How fantastic to have an app to take care of that task. I'm sure Ramu has spent a lot of time looking for tops in his organization.
