The Google PR Machine Comes Out With Guns Blazin'

Last night Mike Arrington broke the news that Google is supposedly launching the OpenSocial tomorrow. Soon after I posted a response questioning the validity of this. Throughout the day I have been pinging people involved with Google’s new platform and everybody came back with the same response: “this is definitely news to me.” According to a number of sources Google will simply be announcing a new standard that enables developers to interact directly with the partnering social platforms.

In the coming months, Google is hoping that social platforms will announce that they use the “OpenSocial Standard,” designed and developed by Google.
