About Gnip:
Gnip (www.gnipcentral.com) reduces the friction associated with moving
content around the web.
Gnip enables data providers (Flickr, Twitter, Mahalo, etc) to easily
syndicate data in real-time, pushing appropriate content to the
appropriate partner as soon as it exists, reducing API usage by orders
of magnitude in the process.
Data consumers (FriendFeed, Plaxo Pulse, Lijit, etc) use a simple API
to tell Gnip which users on which services they care about, their
favorite data protocol (XMPP, Atom, Rest, etc) and the data starts
flowing *too* them, in realtime. This enables data consumers to focus
their resources on creating compelling applications instead of
aggregating data.
About Open Social:
OpenSocial (http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial) defines a common API for social applications across multiple websites. With standard JavaScript and HTML, developers can create apps that access a social network's friends and update feeds.
A common API means you have less to learn to build for multiple websites. OpenSocial is currently being developed by a broad set of members of the web community. The ultimate goal is for any social website to be able to implement the API and host 3rd party social applications. There are many websites implementing OpenSocial, including Engage.com, Friendster, hi5, Hyves, imeem, LinkedIn, MySpace, Ning, Oracle, orkut, Plaxo, Salesforce.com, Six Apart, Tianji, Viadeo, and XING.
OpenSocial is built upon gadgets, so you can build a great, viral social app with little to no serving costs. With the Google Gadget Editor and a simple key/value API, you can build a complete social app with no server at all. Of course, you can also host your application on your own servers if you prefer. In all cases, Google's gadget caching technology can ease your bandwidth demands should your app suddenly become a worldwide success. More: http://www.mahalo.com/Open_social
