OpenSocial Demos - Must See

It's one think to talk about a new API, it's a different thing to watch actual demos.  OpenSocial went live last night, and while not all platforms or "hosts" are linked yet you can see demos of what they have been busy building here.  You can fast forward about the familiar marketing mambo jumbo in the beginning, yes we know OpenSocial is a good thing, and watch what the social sites as well as application developers have to show you:

The way some of these applications are tapping into the activity streams, and also the fact that the application can get separate canvas pages to have "its own" pages within, say, orkut or Ning, is really amazing.  Personally I liked the Flixter and iLike demos, and also the Flixter/MySpace integration done in a few hours (last presentation) was amazing.

I feel we are at the beginning of a new online revolutions.

P.S.  Obviously whoever arranged this was doing his/her best to make Facebook jealous, and in  some instances like the way MySpace was brought to spotlight at the end they overstretched it a little!!

P.S.S.  I lost power just as I was finishing this post - a big OH S%$&* - but I have to give it to MovableType, the AutoSave feature had saved pretty much everything I had typed including the embedded video...  Thanks Guys!
