Attention! API Garbage (might be unreadable):

social application open

Himself come out here and if you haven t had enough to eat there s plenty of pizza and feedback there and does so without further a do and got three speakers tonight to a number from Google and God lamia Brown versus from Google and God are in a room in Couric also from Google and lastly they get a high five for a sending loom large director of engineering over there he s also can be speaking so a great lot and getting questions at the end they ll all take up the question so he very pixels with a menu run my work here at Google and the open social team for starters what kind of fuel for our familiar we are we are with open social justice social web in general so triggers a written open social application before a different see a few familiar faces from some of our events and act upon item about the Facebook applications at some some some same handsome to finance it through interesting space miniapplications in then sorts the students was found in the kind over three things first was the trouble with open social apps when Reagan pursued this open social what s the problem stride assault and often about how we think open social solves a problem and finally just a little bit of status roadmap about some projects of a Google use of the O. does the physical concepts and leverage some of the social data that these networking sites have they can expose an API in Isa developer hears her for no at the bottom it is an application he wants to build and it uses you assume the profile data letter to some information about friends and activities and was ready on this case if there went to think you can get a lot of distribution through Lincoln because Lincoln has look millions of users running little appetite of the lack to do all that building a user base is pulled directly in the Lincoln space so I status application linked any syncing on another lot of other cyclically been out there how can I leverage some of those users as well it might happen to that with with with my application it is a problem here they ll have their own APIs are all exposing in a data in different ways so noted for no to develop this application always networks and really And all those millions of users I generated application basically four times with these four different APIs for these four different sites that citizens were open social comes and this is a problem stride assault one note to destroy his application wants one too believes a common set of APIs that all of those containers will support than he can write his application once and plug-ins all of those users so anyone besides alone is may be in the tens of millions in 1 million big ones but altogether they were trying to hundreds of millions of users so this is huge distribution for Noah and his application and all of you in your applications so open social is really about making the web more social it s about getting more of these applications out there up for users to use for users to generate more content with your applications matter what social networking site there using we are some popular ones in the states of the innocents were him as part of a summary social networking sites all over the world in with open so she doesn t happen the things that you never even knew existed so the disclaimers here such as Google and not only it is early but the Google benefits the web in the users and the people who have these social networking sites and the developers who are writing the applications of the users give their applications networking sites get all bunch of applications to run on their sites enhanced functionality for their but they don t have the right and premature registers using a lot more and more fun and social way given the discriminator suit your blog misconceptions about open social as it cools owning in were indexing every neo-piece of data that gets used on any social network is running open social this is not true of all of the data links they are for instance stable from an open social to running applications on their file that is managing their container suits through another Google centric model this analysis with the picture looks like it is a lot more of a pretty picture from application developers standpoint red he writes is one app which is numbering is open social and all of these containers were doing than a five year we worked with dozens of containers that are for many open social they also put the same API scenarios single application can run and leverage all of these are application always websites and this is my favorite sweater because it shows breezily noted a big thumbs up here sees giving you access to hundreds of millions of users share and edit finishes in a lot of these networking sites are not just social networking sites are millions of containers like salesforce where the kind of applications that you can write in what it means to be your friend in that context is is a little different from what we re used to on Facebook or MySpace source is really quite locations or run a unit and make use of this different context specific measures China Siebel application right that there s near this is not just something that socially fun for me to your poke somebody or are tried on her wall there s a lot of useful applications that can come out of this technology as well separate the animation and now his application is and always shall you so you have the potato is to its open it so it s based on HTML and JavaScript all of these containers are implementing it so you can write and use skills he or he have chose traditional recurrences for that and in the containers will do the leech to the work of implementing it making your app run on their site in the week in a viscous upper left graphic indiscretions of a small amount of the partners if we ve been working with visual year s dozens and dozens of foreigners between people writing containers in writing applications since it s been easily adopted a come web languages were all know JavaScript whether that we love it or not of heard some young people complaining I like JavaScript or other of these JavaScript is a free come in its own there will be less restful APIs so you can use for a sleeping to servicer recalls by the end of the judge to Detroit might decide that you like it do question sure you so disarmed in question struggle at the junkies are some questions his account if you simply lift and mash ups lets them link building structures on top of linked in Franzen s MySpace friends and identify individuals that might be his application that website both of those were the costs I will like s situation is that an adversary question like it could in my application on linked in leverage some users that my application is about a high-fiber MySpace subtleties right legal integrating app mashup model across multiple of what is probably not to be a good idea just because you re that user data loss of the site container site so you are high-fiber MySpace and the containers will have different policies about what you can do that so there might be containers that don t want you to share you know the image of the user on their site it on your own site or on another website and some of the engineering of open social to design centers not selected for this board is was that you could write one coming up and if I m on high-five I interact with my five friends their thumb on your work in a interactive difference when a market this secondary touch on this you get your client-side JavaScript that s what a lot of applications are now are written in a little CEO Lou from high-five can talk about their rest API MySpace is developer platform open and rest APIs and open social is is working to bring obvious rest APIs together the same with the JavaScript API is a standard format so again your app can do the servicer interactions but only work towards work with one API and again that the bottom line is really a get more apps for every user use you got more users on his application so the containers benefit because they need to use application developers are to write more features for their website of users in a benefit because now they have more fun stuff to play with on websites of there are going to an use application developers will benefit because you have this distribution is massive distribution across all these sites should either the question of soap or other good-looking of anything we ve quit so that you conduct secret asked obligations all using the data sue your candidate in fact the I saw someone> bonds and use a ugly user and use like a little demo about how is using quick to generate the judge prefers application soon intarsia need to visit back doors and went to write anything into Charleston with that special syntax closely you can do it but I mean I would think the right way would be to live or in running the reason why raises support the guys that were there as well as review the answer of his others open-source library out of this and we can assure you that you allows you to visit Disney s the updated we at least owe it possible to it s another reason why Google s general stances uses open standards also do things like this can happen additional proprietary things blocking in some new bright developer other known at this so refined their slavery to the United money will help of rentals on civil home if they will is a guy would yet Google would open so she] X. okay to talk about just loaded or we are not currently run version .7 of the open social API we have a lot of new for Shelley to appoint successors were talking about some as it s pretty neat verse one capabilities discovery so this is one of the things that will help your application it would run on multiple sites to think about it into the social networks out of people and profiles but you they have a lot of different data rates like we didn t have suffered by your resume in MySpace is where your friends suits of these sites you have to figure 1 extend API different ways maybe can t implement all the functionality and API us of API allows you to ask the container do you do you support this feature or can I do this in your container and this is a minute to application developers new to leverage in order for their application to run smoothly across these different containers under the as well so a computer profile fields is kind of a common one used him what fields are available another one you say I m in a fairly small shop and there s some core things are one allowing application developers to do but maybe having gone around implementing the rest of the South is to launch his open social compliant container as long as whatever the developer asked me if I can do something goings on returning to them but you know sports so it can get the implement everything… insofar as his favorite this is or isn t supported there s probably some things at that rate really does give you some Soviet implement order to be useful at all of them at the Peninsula system navigation humility so that most of these applications are what keeps us all most of these social networks you have a Namibia profile view of the user making stick applications and their permit and have a campus view words like the application is the whole screen and API Addison s subsidy cast the container you for help in navigating between those different views that s that s been really helpful for application developers which is near before really hard to navigate around and I have a rich user experience in a start up on when it is viewing some of profile and then suddenly inadequate summer and are looking at a really big rich version of your app of us also permissions is something so new privacy and security special in the social web I want the user turn of keep close tabs on what would data they re giving out and sharing us we had to the API someways furry applications to request permission from the container and in the container internals and allows the user to do on what the give this application permission to do this or that another one of secure content fetching so if you have some server-side logic in from your application you can send remote request from your application to a two-year server but if anybody could be spoofing that so we ve in for minutes on a shouting API us in the consignor s request that your server knows it came from no particular container and lasso us as we added some better of functionality for activities so you can knows people are using an application they can have things posted of activity streams this is again something the containers tended 10 to implement in different ways and there s this other ways of growing hourly up in a talk whatever love to hear a question just how about a viral growth of these applications are interested in aspect is kind of a unique visa applications of the process one sobers and seven) there s a visitor comes messaging at so you might want to put some the activity stream is currently the public firm on this see my friends interceded in their time to update fields but also sometimes wanted to send a message to another user Namibian giving you a gift or something around the world is and you know that primitives one one user to you about that and then also pleasantly standardized profile fields so if you look at the API references there s a laundry list of fields that are pretty common across APIs but also there s his ability to extend as well to question is the viral spread confined to make up its identity updates so there s also a babe send messages so if I wanted to send a message to budge my friends the application might say I saw the sap. I m having fun using this outgoing installers like that cause visitors to channels one is in the activity stream and the others in direct user user messenger and so open social in general it s touching a lot of really big websites in good yet that is what he okay leading device achieved in his what you what do you do a how do you make sure that your user base is a get vacuum clean to someone else means that bypasses the problem is as you know I can think it would deny people you have a prospect of people who would do it for malicious reasons of what is the section on the right so I say I have a social networking site I implement open social I know someone just write an application that describes all my user data in your attitude there is a question so through the API of the container use a container can choose what to expose so like almost the containers you can actually access the e-mail address of the user because that s your personally identical identifiable information so as a container you can you can control what information is out there and also in order for an application to get any data values are they have to give user has to install it some if you re really delicately popular viral app nude spread across your home network and then you have to be worried because they have access all of your data but I think I m enough to policies and set the tone applications will have information they can store on their servers but so would serve the nation are talking out your happen to be Mr. popular almighty social sites you have 100 night so you get 100 and this app possibly popular right now either France or well what s to stop the act from taking all that profile data and transmitting it back home and how you can make sure it is a certain integrity to use it to know that the API can really prevent that what is there that allow the application navigator Krugman is right it is a common problem across any sort of social networking site like this in the guess who is assailing a bunch of really popular websites inserted into many open social and if you want to start writing an application right now is a few different places that you can work on it already working as a sandbox of its running of version 7 of their couches latest version and its work exam marks of work is getting ready to watch these applications to users in their semi churn out is identical to the state of the watch so these are writing an application after orchid yet that same application can be launched in Iraq anymore major revisions are intended for lunch high-fives was also unique in getting some better details and I have but they re also running version 7 of the API in both of these sites are using shindig on the backend and shindig is an open-source project is an Apache keeping project the basically Google took a lot of their gadget rendering code in open source to us because we want to make it easier for containers to actually implement open social and a big part of that is how do I render a gadget so shindig is it s really interesting project it s it s open-source and there s a strong community building around here if you re interested in implementing a container so MySpace recently launched their development platform internally on .6 working hard upgrade its .7 a new developer.MySpace.com and then check that out name and Plaxo are still there were two versions of five and also using shindig you could validate yourself and it s kind of a mock container itself so if you wanted to give women a container on your site or make your site into an open social site shindig is really great was the start of the hard work for you and so Lugar were going version 7 was the first resume PR really felt strongly that although shall you have developers need is in him we don t need to do any major revisions to allow for in a better viral spread or more reliability or security or data dysfunction eye to application developers are asking for that really wasn t. Those who were working with all a large container partners to intimate .7 and launched his technology that spits can be an exciting summer here we ve got a lot of things going live with it orchid as I said the version 7 is on the Semites now to tackle the will to launch with two users are starting with a prelaunch testing phases want to move things from their sandbox to the actual production servers and edges cut test the waters little bits of bondage to move about and make it available to the 1% of users in the minaret that up to about 10% a minute ago he urges global watch source can be really exciting to be happening in the next two weeks and the view from high five you can also talk about where were high-fives with their roadmap looks like so that s what have this website is good with you started with open social its code.google.com/APIs/open social is like the content on and I guess if you want after this the contact me with any questions or anything but help cellular Google so good a question wise if you have a good gadget is the host on a third-party site does it support any Ajax connection to your site this bank is the pretty sure this question was is is version 0.8 coming soon I actually am not sure under what the time on your point is we were really a surcharge to get .7 out and the it s like I says really full-featured so there s a lot of work to be done now that we have like a stable API for plan making any breaking changes are ignorant that I wince when version .8 does come out it should be just extensions to the current functionality via a really interesting what we ll try and get something out about her vision for what s in the next version pretty soon and what about the rest APIs is for .79 so that I think rest APIs I don t have any information or one of the out which word working with global community to make a something that so the application of over 10 you use one API instead of having a resume for MySpace I ve artwork it at and that is always little harder when using the community who when you re finished products could be a lot better to see you do so over your first night in Acapulco for my team right now I is also an open social team to help inducing demos just give you an idea what these applications look like also some sample code advisor Joyce uses you ask junk aerobic of the clicked on the stock shot that hit okay hello my name is Anna at work and I were playing in developer programs on open social with miniature due today in a very short amount of time is give you the sumo a worm resides a birds eye view of what an open social app is and what it can do to service get started on initiatives to honor orchid.com developer sandbox which is where we can run open social apps for Sims can quickly go over to my work account and my orchid identity one of is a sample test and this is a little dialect user testing on up some social stuff so out of many of you have visited orchid so do a quick overview of what can see here over to the lefties he samples little ID picture to the right of some of my better friends here you see upcoming birthdays for my friends and then updates from stuff that my friend doing on the network is use Facebook this is probably pretty familiar to down on the left you can see which applications I ve installed on my profile were to have years of his application that were going good runner selected developer gadget that lets you edit and execute code and run it against open social sandbox Ltd. is a run a few samples and give you an idea of how this all works so you can see here is this is a text area actually a tragic coda press execute a man actually getting the word out so all this stuff is as alive and running in the browser and so do you we have here is what an open social requests, looks like it s a very simple structure musically make a request if you re actually requesting what was called owner friends tell you what a difference that was a cancer use the same structure is my request on request in what s called the owner this is the person whose profile this gadget is installed on in this case it s person top left corner of sample testing can what happens is you made bundle up his request to specify parameters to it and many make the request using the same function when some calls and amended was to the server got assaulted and comes back someone to do now is display the owners display name via you see this on here throughout the function sums can execute this code here and standards to output sample sample testing now justice would illustrate what this means like owner him when I go switch over to another S. is my real life it s up there in the corner and these are some were my friends suited samples of one of my friends also so many go look at his account assumes samples profile that he is good runner installed so I load his introduction sample that is the same code that we saw before but I just ran if you cannot look at it I m requesting this owner object here and in the response I m printing out his display name and execute received under a sample testing and that s because even though I m logged in with Anna I m looking at it on samples are so basically I get to interact with what samples did is I get to see Leo s what information is stored on his profile and so when his friends are up to them and so so go back and pretend to be sample so one but I do now is try to request one of my friends the owner s friends can see that again if you look to see what s your owner friends is different from the last time for what I m doing when I get this back is I m actually getting an object called friends back from this request going over each of them and printing them out was the print function distance up the display name to concede his wistful] and dramatically get access to the list of samples friends what other information can I get out of this subsample to serve start adding on little parameters that I can of that can use to specify this request for example what I m doing now is I m requesting I m making a parameters structure and I m actually going to start adding on little like tags and one or one so I m going to need some extra profile information was there when it at the current location of samples friends some specifying current location is work when I want to get out of the say want to get 100 friends because it defaults to 20 so minutes of this 200 and say I want a filtered out by people that have this application installed and want to get into the reason I want a filtered something about application you have installed is because you have access to profile data of people who have the application installed at the explicitly choose to share their profile data with the so again amended to the same exact thing in and of each person except I m on a dual little bit more and then start him in a filtered out a bit of information about their current location imprint upper latitude monitored so it s easier to shut this down and then Susie sticks my friends have this application installed and they all have set their to profile data to show where they are and I can get this latitude monitored for Matt s prequel is pretty useful data is lot of stuff you can do with the example we have a real little application that I like is called Google maps so wonder if yours I can put I can put arbitrary HTML and this is not server the little sample it s not too long but it s longer than open social stuff and what it does is it just inserts a map and it interrelated to understand what it s doing sure this down and execute to map out in my head that would be cool if I could plot the locations of my friends on this map so learned there is a bit different sample mixes you see this map currents of jumbled together and then what s happening is him you ll actually see this filtering could also do requests and my friends in the data and then what happens is when I want to get the person data back instead of each person printing them out and displaying the name I m an essay on persons not know what to do I do a busy function that are defined that basically uses the Google maps API supporter of that person s location on the map and then sets the image to their thumbnail URL site access to their pictures of justice is restricted to people that have application installed and they have to specify that the sharing that data but it s it s available so you do not instruct us up and run a look or got friends now such received Lane and Stephanie are here discussed the I like to be in Las Vegas have been on bands I ve got a few friends back home in New York and East Coast s prequel distance are you that this isn t like a rigged demo or anything of Judaism place that I should relocate myself to work in a diversity of Alaska to come to a kid with a average visitor can assume it is rare for two hours I was a visit to what it has to be asked of O. choose my complete motor lockers geography knowledge of so and run the sample to and I look a relocate myself so this is a very quick overview of what s possible having these ups didn t really take long to write the numbers sophisticated math limitations but am working developers can I think your first justice to victims from haunted hillbilly love launch of the weblog is open social data to accept each container to define how they re going to present that right like is economy part of every profile that gets returned is a going to be limited to people web application installed is it not be available at all these are all valid responses from the container you just have to know which contains policies to think this for us to have the lack of obedience was accusing John and I leave so I mean that uses the Google Geo coder so I thought I could do it in a if you have time when we can just adjust the what are you listening with and also to my lack of geographic knowledge of have access to this room or something on the ability to distill things onto the beehive systems golden notification okay I am going to be doing is adding this to the directory of applications so when you go to him apps edit your possession the application directory and its them and yet you can be configured now if you re if you re actually really eager to start playing around with it you can go to the short URL so tickets my profile you can you can go and run code there but you you can save and load it just at-bats your own profile the system of cyclic.so zero looks like it s just a question and she needs y or something to that map to work on an essay on what he had just kept it going did you know I know you you can you can get a key that works for gadgets that is run in a domain release on orchids are run@theMetdomaincalledGmodules.com sorted to do for that running the sample is a just registered with modules.com but it s not like there s only one key for that domain was registered or are still at installed the app to get configured so that s you can expose information of a hot hot view the configuration of sure am I can assure you it s actually does more of when you install the updates are like Facebook you agree to its terms of service were these the terms of service for the application so if I were to just install this one you could see here in X. asks me for authorization so has access to your profile information gets a link in your left navigation bar and put a gadget on your profile page and then will those are all at the required things against their consent to then I have the option of letting us post my activity stream activity stream is that when I logged in and I showed optics for my friends is next to post information or to it so you can often like opt in and out of the note these requirements might change but the future were looking to make some more of an organic experience where you can preview of part of the false analogy of a nap and then agreed to extend or limit of access as you want but right now it s to select a base template of things that you re allowing it to the mouse question of what we bolted up the source of this bloggers.net uses this API actually been on it at the bar was obvious so the actual home were call those of you deep little wiggles met pushpins is working so I ll talk afterwards he is about that was conceded he would also suppress somatic stuff you are the loser would be large would it work in livability object if Bush himself back in the picture that you re aware of lots of support resources for many questions America s figure competitor should we demo a nap from an external third-party developer so we have where excepting applications for a jeweler, we reconsider the excepting applications from her developers to be listed in this directory and Saddam one of one of the really nice ones that the Iowa co-op is a crazy story game so to introduce his own Napa of Jacob is by Dr. Jackson did almost as some active funds we could do it so pretty simple app bomb, when muscles are obviously ideas you create stories with your friends so one person starts off by adding a few words and then their friends become long at more words destroyed after five terms the game is over and hopefully on up with something that s amusing orators were nonsense so broke the first rule of demo and I change the Likud to suck like a demo of a broken organ of the island initially so the Star destroyer on nontax autonomy so it then takes you to the unfinished stories tab and you can now see at the bottom there was her sample testing that is my best user so it added out of my story I started to the bottom in any conceded only shows the last portion of about the last persons turn so you don t really know exactly what you re finishing which leads to more interesting stories so this woman took won the container so a traffic accident on 32nd St. in New York City on the sample testing temp that I was programming in children out of more positive twist on others for morbid so am you d see it updated out now there s two turns left a further Street in anatomy to the officer and the you can cheat a little bit of my stories which shows you all the stories you ve participated in Safari montage ones and so you can see what I added to the form or open any door committee double scrollbar in the post Paul Ponce always liked his unique name however he did expect was in a traffic accident on 32nd St. in New York City which was avoided when Superman and someone else can come and continue and the middle highly futuristic and see what each person added so you can see how it will work to down the read stories as takes it all at the stories and so you can reload people done and will be voting in you can read the funny stories and am again there s no highlighting suit and see what each person contributed to the sister that s about it for questions or comments so books Clinton s was for the one amazing for persistence using a MySQL backend of my answer I have asked my watchword is at work and open social does have this app user data storage where you can store up to you can store data just with an open social essentially per container but for this one I m storing it in my own database column does that to you live in call state visit was it like the law offense gone on how persistent it on the story on their system if you re if you re storing it in the open social container system via it it s twisted persistent about it is that if the action is in or up to check whether container is how well the support vessel for you and not all of them is woodworking high-fiber man once of the app user data going out that they re all going to lunch with bells that thank you at the question for you both know inside of the gentleman from Google is your let Facebook yet in places where you can post as you said activity information for and silencing all these entertainers and have those kind of features party support that API that s actually part of the God we have what s called activity streams so you define different line yesterday are specific to Welch can own a certain archive is up to the container to to decide where they want to show that so we provide is the ability for an application to say I would like to post this message in a conspicuously sorted in a book in an activity stream sort of activity feed format but if you do friends activities that you can directly check to the does he see if there s more than one it depends on how each container displays weather information and so you basically visit is an API where you can create a template posted into it and then it s off to the container to decide what to do with the templates select against his knees needs as many feeds as cell is that facilitated the API to direct way scaling what I would sort of say between the receipt of any feed I think that s just different ways of looking at the same information you sent me the right of a different filter out unwanted showing to what the actual underlying message is pretty much the same was that he was going in his application seeking Schiavo s seat and get the position interacts which kind of theater activity whenever you inside quoted it really depends like of an activity stream entry is basically just a templated piece of HTML where that goes is really up to each container citizen away by the application developer to say where they want to contain what exactly would you say like you would say that if locations I d do different things as different seats and output the same thing that sucks unlike my question is unassuming using containers lead different feeds in different interfaces sell icing at this point in the API but right now it s not really listening I m on this for a good part might have heard or what you like exact structure of the Facebook are many feet am but I thought it was bad the application could post there than depending on news feed his activities that are friends of posted in many feet are things that could explain this to knew what I m trying to say is application developer there s the APIs directed as an API calls I can sell insane idea that is displayed in social yet they different choose two different calls I did make no activities are limited just 110S of generalized red civil rights of but then if you want to be specific what you think you would at this network with that entertainers started semantically what s the difference between the two messages will be physically show up in different places is also different rules as to how many can deal in doing compiles XL e-mail that we we do have our support for his different messaging rep so we have activity streams are more like posting public activities that you have undertaken an application but then the reaction of direct user messaging also so you can post something in someone else s message role in orchid that could manifest itself as a scrap in your profile he wanted to post an advertisement for starting a message is that something that s illegal that can be up to each container to decide anyone else get the question for me at least that is any kind of meta-information in the activity in no post was saying something about what kind of information is best-of-three template of some what the current spec is is that you cannot redefine a template say that your music up and listen to music you can sort of template out the artists and the songs that you listen to sort of the semantically given some information and in your template you define a template for one display on for multiple displays and what you can then do it were with the container will then do is say to you for 10 messages I once sang to you one of your friends listen to 10 different artists instead of showing tender for messages you can define how the costs and gets compacted into one message to your friends don t get spammed with just a thought comes to mind would be to make it spin that to support submit information about the content is that when the gadgets even understand if you can t handle really can t have any of these HTML doesn t give them any information at how the director used that so maybe some supporting information sure and then let the consumer group or be part of a template language but right now it is going for general display of sure I m in the spec is open for discussion we have mailing lists are public and the end you can definitely contribute to the can is a good believe it will activity streams of dinner since the inception of messaging was other than .7 remember correctly you should details him by district and should break this down if people don t have questions and make a more free-form coils of Lou callsign out of set of my mystic will figure not so Muslim world director of engineering for about a common website we aren t many social APIs for me to talk about argumentation of the features of Ruby supporting other supported. It are roadmap to watching him and stuff with you and our subsequent summary busy duo back on my five and a dive into how we might open social on a few code samples and feudalism to jump into on what also talk about some high-five specific open social extension so I think Elaine mentioned his abilities as covering Supreme Court in peace and going to that end how you can use I thought extensions via the CQ Belize discovery method and points on why you should interest in developing for my five are roadmap to launch on and I have one specific episode number at the solo but back among us we are globally domiciled working site where the number eight overall traffic website world is measured by Alexa out of about 80 million registered users and about 40 million monthly unique users better like housework and the Fokker Spanish-speaking social networking world sort option or website and what a country solicitor Justin Latin America Mexico Columbia Bolivia Guatemala fructose return to grovel Honduras Ecuador El Salvador and we re also talking website and in the Computerworld Portugal to Thailand to which countries in the least demographics go with the broad reach across major demographics so primarily to younger audiences 18 to 34 roughly 50-50 male-female split is for the US traffic a significant percentage is Hispanic so we see a lot of use cases where users are using high-fives widget in touch with their friends and family back home parts of South America Mexico were we have a marketer? Traffic is pretty diverse across the major comments were often cited on 15 different language is MS growing and we are looking forward offers and community based translation services in time that back in the platforms of us on later for the strategy we actually got in most countries English and we follow translations and that was a way to sort improve our regionals. And number the site currently uses to Cuba for the friends that her music mutation tools site on secondary purposes of expressions with the Redskins in the new bling in profile, to select an artist to get into our actual platform importation of first resort opposite of upper Council and versus know we on open social 07 and we are running shindig so argumentation actually servers running hosted on high-five alongside our API servers is how we thought about so interloper councils where to add it in manageable nations were to ask a registered developer for a five.com so this is accessible@sandbox.5.com on also be around at the presentation of readers interested in getting started were about to start thinking about getting apps ready for production corner that more later to so there s an interest of talking so once you ve registered for developer account you build and manage applications from the site you be able to update your gadget metadata you can manage other developers that can also edit the application on high-five manager Jack using it s been a sci-fi directory we also have a pretty simple in-line application editor is a great tool for you for this getting started to taxi identical code in-line news without having a hosting solution was store that for you when you launch a full featured after no one ago in a post that the standard procedure but is a great way to get started playgrounds with open social tools we also got a bona fide developer fees you can see here is a screenshot actually like to show you quick demo of the developer Council has already got in overcoming a bunch of assassin working with but in the Quickstart does refer to is pretty interesting is greater is quick and for example up Krishna for you from scratch and you can edit the sap their ghost in the hell were leftish and writer infected scroll down the page that could save it to work system that you as update is standing to preview and ago so they re easy to start a social tool for not really a seamless transition and so on from the developer Council we have of various integration points across a site so is where you re a precise unit be integrated with a high-five kitchen there are several modes most were probably familiar future for official platforms are few and some differences versus were offering a preview of you so issue that means is that has a chance to offer the user a chance to engage with your app without installing so we preview application from the patient record it to a preview mode and you ll exit also be able to do things like create activities feed items without user actions on to their professors on a just-in-time permission model that will be of minor saturation point is a homepage is replace your applications profile module so richly were also adding a draggable reliable minimize old modules tour profiles with this platform release is existing skins feature which is especially key for a 5X report open social on which we ve actually in a contributing quotation for and against which challenge the dedicated page also for small preview of his disorder canisters as little a space between the main point is that you can interact with the app without installing if it doesn t change the dynamics little bit girls we more information here about apps ratings and metrics homepage against basic is placing links on your my application section and a profile module so the profile module you can see a screenshot of my profile I m using high-fives skin so there s no some expressive graphic design planner is that s a lot better if you re able to sort them using closing UI process for the skins feature comes in for also every profile module has a link to the canvas page on to invite friends over what inward until minute and then to remove inactive some Godiva middle of a code for skins feature to show you how that works between what is his developers are responsible for using these UI attributes that we will make them available to you so you can require the skins feature in your motocross and what that means is if the containers and lamenting in which we do will make these different skin properties available to application you can apply those to style some in this example I have my main dinners actually has a class Main and so I can just read a news of this background color and they re there if several are options as background image font color and anchor: they re all standard open social for skin properties the news to skin your absolute looks good to and finally the canvas page so again this fish is completely dedicated about for our site is about 950 to 1 and you be able to monetize in the states illustrated label to include ethics and dirty questions I don t do the nasty you and deploy flash on click for was a pulsing of the profile module for flash radar displays I m exit 100% sure that our launch is for linoleum ongoing allow flash over there in the questions they monetize it is your intent to provide a play platform for third-party sites to host 3 years ago • Notes
