RE: [Myexperiment-discuss] Google OpenSocial

[Ross Gardler]

Reading these posts it doesn't look like the myExperiment project team is in any
doubt about whether they should explore OpenSocial. Nevertheless, I will take
the opporuntity to flag up some ongoing blog thoughts in my small part of the UK
educational community. You can start your trail at
http://involve.jisc.ac.uk/wpmu/oss-watch/2007/11/03/the-end-of-walled-garden-social-networks/

[As an unrleated aside, Dave De Roure and I had a meeting the other day in which
we discussed open licences and open communities, as a result I think that
participants in this project would be interested in another of my working
weekend posts:
http://involve.jisc.ac.uk/wpmu/oss-watch/2007/11/04/score-one-for-jisc-open-development/

myExperiment is the only other JISC project that even gets close to this amount
of community effort, keep up the good work.]

Microsoft's recent investment in facebook).
