Google's OpenSocial getting stronger: Facebook in trouble?

Google’s OpenSocial consortium going stronger and gaining momentum. OpenSocial has just turned 1 year last Nov. 13. Google launched OpenSocial, an alliance of Facebook competitors, it’s aimed to take on Facebook exploding platform craze. OpenSocial was doing great, according to Techcrunch it s got 315 million application installs across the social networking sites this includes MySpace, Bebo, Friendster, Hi5 and Google’s own Orkut- represents a population of 600 million users, OpenSocial is a milestone for Google. The best thing about the OpenSocial platform, developers could be able to create write once run anywhere application platform, developers got no problems about distributions OpenSocial will take care of it. Google’s OpenSocial consortium is so massive that it could actually dwarf Facebook platform, it a terrible platform to advertise. I honestly believe that Google is ahead to Facebook in this kind of technology. Google got more experiences and knowledge, and got the birthright to lead the industry, Facebook has the speed of a head start but Google is much bigger and wider online reach. We expect more about OpenSocial , the consortium got plans to deploy a standard payment system that could be integrate on its platform something Facebook has announced last March but not able to make it into the web. At OpenSocial we will see those applications make their transitions into business. Google could be too late in social networking party but not too late to catch up Facebook.
