TechCrunch had an interesting post today about Google’s new project called OpenSocial (or what TechCrunch previously called “Maka-Maka”). Michael writes,

The new project, called OpenSocial (URL will go live on Thursday), goes well beyond what we’ve previously reported. It is a set of common APIs that application developers can use to create applications that work on any social networks (called “hosts”) that choose to participate.

Amazing if they can do it but I’m really interested in understand a bit more about how it works. This is going to make is really easy to plug into these social networking sites. Watch out Facebook.

I can’t wait to get my hands on the details …

My daughter slept through it and when we went to check on her, she waved us away like we were disturbing her beauty sleep. My neighborhood stayed pretty quite and not one car alarm went off. I hope our build machines in Cupertino are ok. We have a release to QA tomorrow! At the end of the day, the worse part of it was the the news update interrupted the beginning of “The Biggest Loser”. Here are a few posted new stories:
