The Platform is the Web

You've probably seen the news somewhere else first, but making it official here: Plaxo is a part of a large and growing team effort to make the social web as open as the web itself. Now, instead of developers having to build different versions of their apps for each social or business network, they can write once, using the new OpenSocial APIs from Google, and have their apps run all over the open social web. Sites as diverse at Plaxo Pulse, LinkedIn, Hi5, and Friendster are supporting the effort. Joseph and Cam have worked really hard to make sure we are at the forefront of the effort, and we expect to have full support later this week for the new APIs in the just-launched Dynamic Profiles in Pulse. Very exciting!
