Developers rushing to reap advantage of social networking
March 20, 2009
The growing trend of social networking has lured large number of developers to develop applications on these platforms. Malaysian programmer and founder of, SharedCopy, Chew Choon Keat, in an interview said that there is good scope of earning in development of web app riding on Facebooks and other giants. He added that web apps that involved building of a community and integration with OpenSocial and Facebook Connect are in big demand.
The single sign-on service, Facebook Connect, enables sharing of content between affiliated sites. OpenSocial is a set of Google’s “Application Programming Interfaces” (APIs) joined by other networks, that enables running of developers’ app on supporting member sites. Both the tools were released by different website owners to attract developers’ interest.
According to Yahoo’s head of developer network, Chris Yeh, many website owners are embracing ‘open’ platforms to lure developers from competitors’ camps. He added that every major web company, with objective to integrate third-party developer applications, has opened its own website properties.
The developer community has grown in number in last 2 years, particularly outside the US, and most projections are putting this growth two to four times the US developer market growth, primarily due to current trend towards ‘open’ technologies, informs Yeh.
