Comments on: Facebook vs. OpenSocial API http://www.emergencemarketing.com/2007/11/05/facebook-vs-opensocial-api/ Thoughts on marketing, innovation, social networking, new products and the impact of technology on all those thingies Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:38:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: John Cass http://www.emergencemarketing.com/2007/11/05/facebook-vs-opensocial-api/#comment-681 John Cass Mon, 05 Nov 2007 21:31:07 +0000 http://emergencemarketing.com/?p=967#comment-681 Google does have 25 million people with orkut, but the community is only big in Brazil. So the combination of different social networking sites is important. However, I think it may actually prove to be an opportunity for Facebook. If they can keep their lead with developers, and join the OpenSocial movement it may actually provide more opportunity for Facebook than Google.

I tend to agree with you that I'm not sure that the loyal among FB are going to switch over to MS/OS but where I do think this will hurt FB as the non-tech folks migrate toward social networks. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next several months. Francois - I’m brewing a post about this topic myself.
