Jaiku’s Jyri Engeström's 5 rules for social networks: social objects
1. What is your object?2. What are your verbs?3. How can people share the objects? 4. What is the gift in the invitation?5. Are you charging the publishers or the spectators?http://tinyurl.com/yus8gw

OpenSocial
A common open set of APIs for building social applications across
multiple sites

social, not just Google.

One API, Many Websites
One APIclient-side JavaScript - version 0.7 ready for production
standard Web development tools: HTML + Javascriptserver optional
server-side REST (initial proposal under review)Google proposal based on Atom Publishing ProtocolAtomPub and JSON
Many Websitesevery OpenSocial website exposes the same API
==> more users for every app==> more apps for every user

Caja - when gadgets go bad
Gadgets can be a new vector for phishing, spam, malwareSocial spread of gadgets can spread bad gadgets tooCaja reduces threats with a JavaScript sanitizer as an additional "sandbox" on top of iFrames protection
![Page 59: Open Social Presentation - GSP West 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081400/541411158d7f7284698b47e2/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Caja Javascript sanitizer
Capability-based Javascript sanitizerOpen Source project from GoogleOptional but recommended for OpenSocial containersEventually will be secure enough to run gadgets inline instead of in iframes
![Page 60: Open Social Presentation - GSP West 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081400/541411158d7f7284698b47e2/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Who should care about Caja?
OpenSocial Containers can require Caja's extra security,Gadgets that cannot be Cajoled could show users an extra warning.Developers of OpenSocial gadgets should test as Cajoled gadgets, or face warnings.Users, containers and developers will gain from Cajoled gadgets without iFrames later

More reasons to develop for hi5...A new audience via our unique footprint in Latin America, Europe and Asia
Of the more than 80 million individuals registered with hi5, less than a third are also active on the other leading social networks, incl. FB, MyS, Bebo, Friendster (comscore)
OpenSocial!Because hi5 is a founding adopter of OpenSocial, developers’ apps can be deeply embedded within hi5, as well as easily translated beyond hi5 to other OpenSocial-enabled websites as well – further increasing their reach potential by many millions!
