I’ll be at Web 2.0 Expo starting tomorrow, April 22 through Friday, April 25.

Read more...Google Creating the Largest Social Network Ever
So many articles have come out today about the new iGoogle integration with OpenSocial and launch of the developer’s sandbox for iGoogle. I don’t think any of their headlines truly do it justice.

Read more...New, Big OpenSocial Announcements Coming Tonight?
According to Mike Arrington (I know, I said I wanted to boycott TechCrunch but it’s just so dang hard to avoid! I’ll stick to boycotting Crunchgear for now.), Google is having another “Campfire One” event tonight. The last Campfire One event they announced OpenSocial. It was the OpenSocial team that announced the event, and the […]
