Yahoo Announces OpenSocial Support; Joins Google, MySpace To Form Non-Profit Foundation

An interesting turn of events on the OpenSocial scene, with Yahoo agreeing to embrace the Google-backed social app distribution platform. Yahoo, Google and MySpace have agreed to form the OpenSocial Foundation—“an independent non-profit entity with a formal intellectual property and governance framework”—and to add related assets by July 2008. The online home for the foundation will be www.opensocial.org. From the foundation proposal: “… the OpenSocial Foundation will be structured to include both corporate and individual representation, and to foster a transparent and participatory community for the purpose of providing equal access to specifications published by the OpenSocial Foundation, at no charge.”
