Details Revealed: Google OpenSocial To Launch Thursday — Mike Arrington //Techcrunch

(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.
