"OpenSocial is now live across our more than 500,000 social networks this morning. This release replaces and improves our older Gadgets beta functionality, and enables Network Creators and their members to add all sorts of great new features, or Applications, to their profile pages with a single click. Each social network on Ning now offers more than 30 OpenSocial applications from which to choose, including file sharing from Box.net, poll creation from Polldaddy and e-commerce from Shopit. Here are some cool highlights of our OpenSocial integration:* The OpenSocial directory on each network automatically inherits the branding and visual design of that network.* OpenSocial applications on Ning can inherit the visual style of the member profile page to which theyre added.* OpenSocial applications are automatically integrated into a networks viral loops. The ability for OpenSocial applications to write to a members latest activity feed, send messages on behalf of the member and spread using a networks default viral sharing options are all there by default."
