Outfaced yet again

It’s early days, of course. Privacy and security concerns will be difficult to overcome.

Quoted from the article ;)

One of my main reasons is why I'm not part of Facebook is the fact it's basically against the rules if you use a nickname, or anonymous approach.

Stuff the world and corporations, why should I make my identity known to them, what do I owe them? Buggerall! Stuff you Opensocial and stuff you Facebook, Myspace and all your stupid friends.

Myadsl fTW :p ;) :D

So they can hunt you down and spam you...:rolleyes:
 
www.opensocial.com is owned by www.vastpark.com and has been for more than 2 years, this is going to be interesting if google wants to use the name, such a big co should know the name is already owned, unless they have already secured the rights to buy the name.
 
Here's the blog from the opensocial.com website:

OpenSocial vs OpenSocial.com

This week Google announced their OpenSocial project. We immediately starting to get a lot of enquiries. Why? I'm the registered owner of the opensocial.com domain. My service business EIN bought it because part of the broader "big picture" aim we have to participate in the foundation of a fully distributed social network platform. OpenSocial was the perfect name! We were keeping our OpenSocial project fully under wraps, but now I want to clear up confusion before it happens.

Our project may get a new name to avoid confusion when it's ready to go into the market, but that's irrelevant for now. We will let you sign up for an early invite when the time comes but that might be a year away! It's going to stay under wraps until users can start getting their hands on it. By the way, VastPark is now partnering on that project.

We've received a lot of requests from people to sell the domain name so they can onsell it to Google. I wish them luck and I don't doubt they would get a terrific price. We'll make up our minds what to do with it in the fullness of time.

As far as Google's OpenSocial project is concerned, VastPark *will* create a widget using Google OpenSocial that our users can then do what they like with it.
