hello guys, i have a question, if not using the 0.8's RESTful feature, is there a way to import the friends list from services that implement opensocial ?
- [00:05:23] <suhail>
tanob: http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-framework/downloads/list
- [00:10:16] <tanob>
suhail: i need a way to import the friend's email/name, not develop a gadget, use it from server-side, for example, with PHP

- [00:11:01] <suhail>
tanob: users must install your application
- [00:11:14] <suhail>
didn't google just release Friend Connect or some bullshit
- [00:11:22] <suhail>
look @ that
- [00:11:28] <suhail>
no REST API for that though
- [00:13:42] <tanob>
hm, understand, i was thinking in a way to use opensocial to implement the tradicional "import address book" from the implementators of opensocial' spec

suhail: is this what you use personally?
- [00:52:44] <suhail>
besquared: mhm
- [00:52:53] <besquared>
interesting
- [00:53:24] <suhail>
besquared: for all my applications.
- [00:53:53] <besquared>
we use something we developed in house.. this looks interesting too
- [00:53:58] <besquared>
man I'm having all kinds of hi5 problems
- [00:54:15] <suhail>
besquared: thanks, this is my "in-house" framework, I just opensourced it later.
- [00:54:30] <besquared>
yeah
- [00:54:36] <besquared>
ours is still in flux
- [00:54:45] <besquared>
and there are a bunch of if/elses cause myspace has some specific stuff that hi5 doesn't have
- [00:54:58] <suhail>
ah, well this doesn't necessarily handle that
- [00:54:58] <besquared>
and they use a special object for the constants
- [00:55:04] <besquared>
yeah
- [00:55:10] <besquared>
you stick to opensocial spec
- [00:55:13] <suhail>
yep
- [00:55:20] <suhail>
it's to spec for sure
- [00:55:40] <suhail>
during the alpha days if myspace/hi5 broke something, I'd bitch at them failing to meet the spec :P
- [00:56:38] <suhail>
besquared: the more useful thing is the friend functions
- [00:56:48] <suhail>
some things are nicely wrapped so they are just one function call
- [00:56:52] <besquared>
ours is very object oriented
- [00:56:59] <suhail>
prototype?
- [00:56:59] <besquared>
via jquery
- [00:56:59] <besquared>
heh
- [00:57:12] <besquared>
no prototype is too rubyish
- [00:57:17] <besquared>
jquery is very javascriptish
- [00:57:28] <suhail>
no dude, prototype in javascript
- [00:57:29] <besquared>
we prefer the purist approach..:)
- [00:57:31] <suhail>
Not the framework ;)
- [00:57:44] <besquared>
haha oooh
- [00:57:47] <suhail>
var foo.prototype.bar = function() { }
- [00:57:48] <suhail>
duh
- [00:57:49] <suhail>
haha
- [00:57:56] <besquared>
well that's all wrapped up
- [00:58:01] <besquared>
by jquery
- [00:58:16] <suhail>
huh?
- [00:58:30] <suhail>
besquared: I am not entirely convinced you understand what prototype in js is :P
- [00:58:40] <besquared>
haha
- [00:59:07] <besquared>
we use a combination of jquery's extend and functions defined on the "class" objects themselves
- [00:59:19] <suhail>
in anyevent, this framework is really intended for the newbies that don't want to deal with all this insanity of building up requests.
- [00:59:30] <suhail>
I could think of many things that could be improved
- [00:59:51] <suhail>
e.g. building a message object with the right params to send out a notification
- [01:00:03] <besquared>
yeah
- [01:00:09] <besquared>
we have various methods for various kidns of messages
- [01:00:12] <besquared>
that we build as objects
- [01:00:17] <suhail>
word
- [01:00:19] <besquared>
and pass into our message dispatcher method
- [01:00:31] <suhail>
yeah--well--anyway, if you see a fit, feel free to extend or use it =)
- [01:00:33] <besquared>
even though I hate opensocial
- [01:00:34] <besquared>
:)
- [01:01:13] <suhail>
It's definitely stable at the very least =)
- [01:01:20] <besquared>
hah we also implemented a template engine
- [01:02:28] <besquared>
but that's not strictly required

- [20:24:44] <Sambi>
i have another issue :)
- [20:24:49] <api_dwh>
unfortunately, as i've replied via pm to several already, i don't work on orkut app approvals
- [20:25:00] <api_dwh>
i can forward specific comments on to the team though
- [20:25:06] <Vamsi>
we are waiting for 0.8 so that we can ask some technical question
- [20:25:11] <api_dwh>
but i dont have information on the status of particular apps
- [20:25:33] <Sambi>
why apps don't work on opera web browser
- [20:25:39] <Sambi>
sandbox works fine
- [20:26:17] <Sambi>
i mean http://sandbox.orkut.com works fine
- [20:26:34] <Sambi>
but apps in www.orkut.com keeps on loading
- [20:26:36] <api_dwh>
the application works in the sandbox in opera but not in production in opera?
- [20:26:44] <Sambi>
ya
- [20:26:48] <api_dwh>
is this all apps?
- [20:27:10] <Sambi>
ya
- [20:28:56] <Sambi>

- [20:31:10] <Vamsi>
musicmazaa is fine
- [20:31:16] <Vamsi>
thats actually our app
- [20:31:29] <Vamsi>
we tested it on opera 9
- [20:32:07] <DLaf>
Dan, looks like you have to ask someone from app approval to log in. :-) so everyone with high quality apps could get approved faster.
- [20:32:09] <Sambi>
latest version is 9.5 and its not working
- [20:32:31] <Vamsi>
let me check it one min
- [20:32:44] <Sambi>
high quality apps :D ????
- [20:32:59] <DLaf>
we see a lot of crap already approved.
- [20:33:11] <Vamsi>
checked on 9.51
- [20:33:15] <Vamsi>
all clean for musicmazaa
- [20:34:35] <Vamsi>
oops
- [20:35:07] <Sambi>

- [20:51:17] <Vamsi>
it depends on how u plan your application
- [20:51:36] <Vamsi>
u can always check if the viewer is owner and assign action to the owner
- [20:52:43] <Sambi>
i am talking abt comments on this page http://www.orkut.com/AppInfo.aspx?appId=959924068502
- [20:56:19] <Vamsi>
i dont this if we can do it ... no we cant delete comments even if u had submitted the app

- [21:12:41] <Vamsi>
Sambi btb whats ur app ?
- [21:12:50] <Sambi>
dan, wat do you think is a major change in 0.8?
- [21:13:01] <Vamsi>
REST
- [21:13:13] <api_dwh>
yeah, REST is the big one
- [21:13:31] <api_dwh>
there's better authentication support as well
- [21:13:34] <Sambi>
http://sandbox.orkut.com/Application.aspx?uid=17158969329579561372&appId=535756404836
- [21:14:14] <api_dwh>
and there are small tweaks that should make development easier
- [21:14:15] <Vamsi>
i hope if there is cheat sheet for migration it would make the upgrade easy for existing apps too
- [21:14:33] <api_dwh>
we'll be working on updating all of our documentation to 0.8 very soon
- [21:14:45] <api_dwh>
most things will continue to work just fine
- [21:15:02] <Sambi>
and have an article with appengine will make my life easier :)
- [21:15:14] <api_dwh>
:)
- [21:15:18] <Vamsi>
dan
- [21:15:26] <api_dwh>
yes?
- [21:15:32] <Vamsi>
i notices a bug with images
- [21:15:32] <Sambi>
that gifts app really helped thanks
- [21:15:41] <api_dwh>
thanks, i wrote the tutorial :)
- [21:15:51] <Vamsi>
if the height of the images are not defined we get a scrollbar
- [21:16:07] <Vamsi>
this is for dynamic data
- [21:16:12] <Vamsi>
dynamic images
- [21:16:25] <api_dwh>
are you requesting a cached image URL and adding it to the page?
- [21:16:35] <Vamsi>
sort of
- [21:16:40] <Vamsi>
wait will give u an example
- [21:16:53] <Sambi>
you wrote that then i have some questions to you
- [21:17:22] <Vamsi>
http://sandbox.orkut.com/Application.aspx?uid=12264247026633193368&appId=939170687980
- [21:17:29] <Vamsi>
dan : plz check that app
- [21:18:03] <Vamsi>
disable images and notice
- [21:18:33] <Vamsi>
if the images for the full articles are taller than the content u see a double scroll bar
- [21:19:30] <api_dwh>
what browser are you using?
- [21:19:32] * trelayne (n=trelayne@gw1.vds.ca) Quit ("Leaving")
- [21:19:37] <Vamsi>
firefox
- [21:19:39] <api_dwh>
and do you have a particular page where this occurs?
- [21:19:52] <Vamsi>
http://sandbox.orkut.com/Application.aspx?uid=12264247026633193368&appId=939170687980
- [21:19:57] <Vamsi>
u can see that on the very first page
- [21:20:00] <api_dwh>
i see
- [21:20:04] <api_dwh>
i tested it first in safari
- [21:20:18] <api_dwh>
are you calling adjustHeight after the page loads?
- [21:20:37] <Vamsi>
yup
- [21:20:53] <api_dwh>
it looks like it's not always triggering in the proper order
- [21:20:57] <Vamsi>
callign adjust height after innerHTML
- [21:21:02] <Vamsi>
its not the proper order
- [21:21:08] <Vamsi>
i have double chekd
- [21:21:13] <Vamsi>
its because of the images
- [21:21:29] <Vamsi>
disable the images and im not getting the scroll bar no matter how long the text goes on
- [21:22:06] <Sambi>
is it working fine few times???
- [21:22:23] * plindner_ (n=plindner@66.218.169.48) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
- [21:22:25] <api_dwh>
it works most of the time for me
- [21:22:37] <Vamsi>
more insight ok
- [21:22:42] <api_dwh>
but occasionally it loads the images and doesn't adjust the height
- [21:22:43] <Vamsi>
in the app click movies in the menu
- [21:22:49] <Vamsi>
then .. click kuselan movie review
- [21:23:00] <Vamsi>
i have measured the total height of the images
- [21:23:09] <Vamsi>
and the scroll bar length matches
- [21:23:16] <Vamsi>
it adjusts the height
- [21:23:24] <Vamsi>
but its not taking the height of the images
- [21:23:44] <Vamsi>
since the height of the images are not defined in the markup
- [21:23:53] <api_dwh>
the first time it loaded i got double scrolling
- [21:23:57] <api_dwh>
the second time, i didnt
- [21:24:33] <api_dwh>
my guess is that because you're adjusting the height immediately after adding the images, the browser doesn't have time to download the image and render it before adjusting the height
- [21:24:38] <Sambi>
what i think is adjustheight is called before images loading few times but after loading some times
- [21:24:45] <api_dwh>
then the images load into the incorrectly sized frame
- [21:24:48] <api_dwh>
and it scrolls
- [21:24:53] <Sambi>
are both in different functions?
- [21:25:13] <api_dwh>
when i revisit the page the image is in my cache so i dont have a problem
- [21:25:30] <Vamsi>
adjustheight is called immediatly after the dom model is inserted
- [21:25:56] <Vamsi>
but since the images are not loaded and there is no definet height value assigned the height of the images are ignored when adjust height is called
- [21:26:03] <api_dwh>
right
- [21:26:12] <Vamsi>
only work around i see is to hard code the image height in <img >
- [21:26:35] <api_dwh>
or you can call adjustheight again after a sufficient period of time has passed to load the images
- [21:27:18] <Vamsi>
setTimeout eats ups some memory :(
- [21:28:38] <api_dwh>
does setting an image onLoad call work?
- [21:28:54] <api_dwh>
im not sure if thats triggered before of after the image finishes downloading
- [21:29:14] <Vamsi>
the number of images on the data request is not common
- [21:29:39] <api_dwh>
im not sure what you mean
- [21:29:56] <api_dwh>
im suggesting that you construct your image HTML so that it's like the following:
- [21:30:15] <api_dwh>
<img onload="gadgets.window.adjustHeight();" src="x" />
- [21:30:43] <Vamsi>
if there are more images then that would be an issue
- [21:30:53] <Vamsi>
calling a javascript function too many functions
- [21:31:40] <api_dwh>
assuming you know how many images are on the page you can call a function that decrements a counter
- [21:31:42] * jkinner (n=jkinner@12.108.173.91) has joined #opensocial
- [21:31:52] <api_dwh>
the counter starts out equal to the number of images
- [21:32:00] <api_dwh>
each image calls the function onload
- [21:32:13] <api_dwh>
and the function subtracts one from the counter
- [21:32:20] <api_dwh>
when counter == 0 it calls adjustheight
- [21:32:27] <api_dwh>
then it only adjusts once
- [21:34:16] <Vamsi>
will try that

- [21:36:35] <Sambi>
dan, authentication you gave in the article will that completely change when you release 0.8?
- [21:37:31] * jkinner_ (n=jkinner@12.108.173.91) has joined #opensocial
- [21:39:11] <Vamsi>
k i will make the changes and submit the app on thursday ;) ..
- [21:39:39] <api_dwh>
i dont think the opensocial tutorial has authentication in it
- [21:39:46] <api_dwh>
are you thinking of a different article?
- [21:40:18] <Sambi>
http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/articles/appengine.html in this article do i need to change authentication in my appengine code
- [21:41:09] <api_dwh>
oh, no, i dont think so
- [21:41:17] <api_dwh>
you can see the list of 0.8 changes here: http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/releasenotes.html#0.8
- [21:41:25] <api_dwh>
and at the top are the "incompatible changes"
- [21:41:28] <api_dwh>
that isn't one
- [21:43:47] <Vamsi>
Dan kindly ask the approval team to get back on the 23 apps .. im not understanding why this is taking so long when an exact similar app got approved ... thank a lot Dan .. all the best Sambi

- [21:58:05] <api_dwh>
not sure
- [21:58:29] <api_dwh>
again, my knowledge of orkut is mostly limited to api implementation :)
- [22:00:31] <Sambi>
i know webon is using 0.8 do they their own documentation??
- [22:01:36] <api_dwh>
the getting started guide on code.google.com lists the team blog as the resource
- [22:01:37] <api_dwh>
http://team.webonsites.com/index/87921/entry/6474/user-created-add-ons.html
- [22:01:55] <api_dwh>
that page says they are working on developer docs
- [22:05:15] <DLaf>
Dan, igoogle support opensocial apps?
- [22:05:24] <mNeo>
in sandbox
- [22:05:27] <api_dwh>
the igoogle developer sandbox supports opensocial
- [22:05:31] <api_dwh>
0.8 actually
- [22:05:37] <api_dwh>
im working on a blog post on what parts
- [22:05:52] <mNeo>
Dan, any update on when it will be live on igoogle?
- [22:05:53] <DLaf>
how does the user relationship (friends) work under igoogle?
- [22:05:57] <api_dwh>
in production it wont be supported until after the canvas view launch
- [22:06:44] <api_dwh>
in the sandbox friends are added manually by entering the email address
- [22:06:58] <api_dwh>
the other person then needs to confirm that you're friends
- [22:07:26] <DLaf>
hmm.. cool.. how do we sign up for igoogle sandbox?
- [22:07:44] <api_dwh>
just got to google.com/ig/sandbox
- [22:07:55] <api_dwh>
there's a little form to fill out
- [22:08:00] <api_dwh>
then just click the button
- [22:08:07] <api_dwh>
it's automatic
- [22:08:59] <DLaf>
cool.. will do it..
- [22:09:20] <api_dwh>
excellent
- [22:09:29] <api_dwh>
let me know if you have any questions
- [22:10:29] <DLaf>
igoogle gadgets also work under google desktop?
- [22:11:17] <api_dwh>
yes
- [22:11:30] <api_dwh>
im not sure about the plans to support opensocial on desktop though
- [22:12:18] <DLaf>
great
- [22:12:48] <DLaf>
when I go to google.com/ig/sandbox it redirects me to google.com/ig, is that right?
- [22:14:08] <api_dwh>
did it request that you fill out the form?
- [22:14:13] <api_dwh>
what does the UI look like?
- [22:14:19] <api_dwh>
if it has the left navigation bar
- [22:14:30] <api_dwh>
or the welcome to the developer sandbox message then it's fine
- [22:14:51] <api_dwh>
basically you're toggling your account to use the sandbox instead of production
- [22:15:06] <api_dwh>
so if you go back to google.com/ig after entering the sandbox you're still in the sandbox
- [22:16:47] <DLaf>
It did request that I fill out the form. which I did. Then it redirects me to google.com/ig. It doesn't have a left nav bar, looks like regular igoogle. let me clear the cache..
- [22:19:03] <DLaf>
weird..
- [22:19:37] <DLaf>
If I tried with another browser and it's showing the request form again.
- [22:19:56] <DLaf>
when I fill it out there's nothing in the interface saying that I'm in the sandbox
- [22:20:25] <brunokbcao>
Hi people... Could anyone visit http://sandbox.orkut.com/Application.aspx?uid=11914663719726161398&appId=105683538854&bpc=1

*parameter
- [22:21:29] <api_dwh>
hmmm
- [22:21:41] <api_dwh>
are you visiting google.com
- [22:21:41] <brunokbcao>
I'm using Scriptaculous
- [22:21:58] <api_dwh>
it doesnt work in other locales
- [22:22:12] <api_dwh>
actually, i see that you said google.com
- [22:22:31] <api_dwh>
after it redirects you, see what happens when you visit google.com/ig/sandbox again
- [22:23:56] <DLaf>
hmm... should be the locale thing

now I see the tool bar ;)

ok, great

- [22:24:41] <api_dwh>
this page has some more getting started details: http://code.google.com/apis/igoogle/
- [22:25:03] <api_dwh>
bruno, if you dont see the error when you have &bpc=1 turned on then its because the cached version has an error
- [22:25:09] <api_dwh>
and you've since fixed it
- [22:25:24] <brunokbcao>
hmm, i hope so.
- [22:25:38] <brunokbcao>
because i was thinking it was because Scriptaculous way to include libraries
- [22:26:01] <brunokbcao>
something like -> document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'+libraryName+'"><\/script>');
- [22:26:39] <brunokbcao>
so, when the script in on a cached server, it could not load the library required
- [22:26:48] <brunokbcao>
well, hope there's no error. thanks :)
- [22:26:52] <api_dwh>
sure
- [22:26:59] <api_dwh>
ok, i have to go now
- [22:27:03] <brunokbcao>

Thanks Dan

- [22:29:36] <brunokbcao>
hahaha, ok, np.
- [22:29:48] <Sambi>
working for google?
- [22:29:50] <brunokbcao>
kinda a 'top secret'
- [22:29:51] <brunokbcao>
:P
- [22:30:12] <brunokbcao>
Hey Sambi, you are every day here too :)
- [22:30:24] <brunokbcao>
Are you the guy from "Tollywood database movie"?
- [22:30:36] <Sambi>
ya thats me
- [22:30:45] <brunokbcao>
good. pretty app :)
- [22:31:16] <Sambi>
orkut doesn't think so :( still waiting for approval
- [22:31:27] <DLaf>
approval process really sucks..
- [22:31:48] <DLaf>
they should allow people to add apps via URL
- [22:32:12] <Sambi>
i think they are doing it parttime 4 hrs a week just like irc hours :)
- [22:32:15] <brunokbcao>
I agree with some points. They have to approval before releasing...
- [22:32:32] <brunokbcao>
Because you could be doing some nasty things... Just getting user data, and so...
- [22:32:45] <brunokbcao>
But I believe this process is kinda slow, dont you think?
- [22:34:35] <Sambi>
ya approval should be there and they are looking into each and everything thats good and fine
- [22:35:15] <Sambi>
but by the time i submit for approval and they replying I am actually thinking of whole new idea :) of changes
- [22:36:04] <brunokbcao>
hehe great. Are you from india, right?
- [22:36:17] <Sambi>
but i can't risk doing it which might screw my submitted application (I run a website on same application)
- [22:36:19] <brunokbcao>
I met a great guy from there, Akash. :)
- [22:37:13] <Sambi>
ya, good but watch out there are some bad guys too :D
- [22:38:06] <Sambi>
do you guys know how facebook approve applications??
- [22:38:31] <DLaf>
I'm still trying to make my opensocial app work on myspace :-\
- [22:39:31] <Sambi>
only thing I noticed is we can't use Navigation URL generated in orkut to work in myspace
- [22:39:37] <Sambi>
or hi5
- [22:39:53] <brunokbcao>
I don't knot about other containers. I'm doing my app just for Orkut right now
- [22:39:54] <Sambi>
did u find anything more?
- [22:40:34] <Sambi>
i know bruno orkut is really big there right. you will be fine
- [22:41:04] <DLaf>
orkut is 90% of brazilian social ;-) but facebook and myspace is growning
- [22:41:15] <DLaf>
sambi.. isn't orkut very popular in india too?
- [22:42:13] <Sambi>
ya but my audience is specific state AP in India (So, trying to reach them)
- [22:42:16] <brunokbcao>
well... it's because a challenge haha
- [22:42:20] <brunokbcao>
do you know? www.mentez.com
- [22:42:43] <brunokbcao>
I think it will be on India again
- [22:43:56] <Sambi>
not many succeded after orkut has landed
- [22:44:10] <Sambi>
infact none
- [22:44:36] <Sambi>
are you guys having your own servers??
- [22:44:38] <DLaf>
sambi.. do you know someone who could translate my english xml file to your language?
- [22:45:11] <DLaf>
if you don't have your infrastructure you should look into google app engine
- [22:45:29] <Sambi>
i am using appengine myself
- [22:45:31] <brunokbcao>
I have my own server
- [22:45:42] <brunokbcao>
But I can use the server provided by the Mentez
- [22:45:49] <brunokbcao>
(They are hosting the challenge)
- [22:46:05] <brunokbcao>
Dlaf, if you have a 'small' xml, I can translate it to portuguese
- [22:46:25] <brunokbcao>
Of course, if you aren't at the same challenge as me hahaha
- [22:46:38] <Sambi>
Dlaf you can use the same application for indian users too
- [22:46:57] <Sambi>
every indian using a computer in India can understand english
- [22:47:31] <brunokbcao>
Is it true, Sambi?
- [22:47:36] <mNeo>
DLaf Google App Engine can't take traffic from any reasonably successful app
- [22:47:49] <DLaf>
bruno.. I'm brazilian :-D
- [22:48:05] <brunokbcao>
oops.. then.. FORGET :P
- [22:48:08] <brunokbcao>
hehehe
- [22:48:45] <DLaf>
mNeo.. are you sure? they advertise just the opposite thing
- [22:48:45] <Sambi>
mNeo they say it can take 5M pageviews a month
- [22:49:05] <DLaf>
my site gets 400M pageviews a month :-)
- [22:49:08] <mNeo>
The tricky part is CPU usage
- [22:49:25] <brunokbcao>
pageview is not a good measure, i believe
- [22:49:30] <mNeo>
They are currently is beta. I am sure they'll be able to serve a lot more if you start paying
- [22:49:47] <DLaf>
I believe if I paid for the cpu usage, they would host it.. the bad thing is they don't support php
- [22:50:01] <brunokbcao>
Dlaf: making part at the Mentez contest?
- [22:50:12] <brunokbcao>
or just a developer?
- [22:50:20] <brunokbcao>
I'm curious right now
- [22:50:21] <brunokbcao>
:P
- [22:50:33] <DLaf>
nope.. I just want to see my app approved from google to start advertising to our users.
- [22:50:33] <mNeo>
My experience is that GAE is not ready for social apps if you intend to make money from the app. Wait till they have a pay version
- [22:50:43] <mNeo>
Use Amazon or other cloud services till then
- [22:50:48] <brunokbcao>
hmm, GRA�AS A DEUS! hehehe
- [22:51:01] <DLaf>
:-D
- [22:51:07] <DLaf>
are you in the music related business?
- [22:51:29] <brunokbcao>
yes, my app is about it
- [22:51:32] <Sambi>
I guess appengine is alot cheaper than amazon for their pricing structure
- [22:51:58] <Sambi>
ofcourse once they go live
- [22:51:59] <brunokbcao>
but, im not a musician. just a undergraduate student
- [22:52:00] <DLaf>
you just have the app or you run a music website too?
- [22:52:25] <mNeo>
Yeah .. it's a lot cheaper.
- [22:52:40] <brunokbcao>
just have the app. I'm using YouTube data, and making advanced features on top of it...
- [22:52:47] * shrink (n=shrink@210.212.5.85) Quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
- [22:53:08] <brunokbcao>
If I could tell my app as a sum, I should say : YouTube + Last.fm = Together
- [22:53:10] <brunokbcao>
:P
- [22:53:23] <brunokbcao>
By the way, it yes the reason I have chosen this name :P
- [22:53:30] <brunokbcao>
*it is...
- [22:53:37] <Sambi>
nice thing abt appengine its free for small sites. you don't have to start paying from the scratch
- [22:54:13] <DLaf>
you should add lyrics to your site ;-)
- [22:54:18] <DLaf>
I mean.. your app
- [22:54:38] <Sambi>
you're never sure what users like ;)
- [22:55:50] <Sambi>
for me orkut app is do or die
- [22:56:09] <DLaf>
last.fm has a developer api too, right?
- [22:56:35] <brunokbcao>
humm, i think so...
- [22:56:38] <brunokbcao>
but i dont use last.fm
- [22:56:46] <brunokbcao>
i'm talking about "video scrobbling"
- [22:56:51] <brunokbcao>
or something like this...
- [22:57:12] <brunokbcao>
do you have access to orkut sandbox?
- [22:57:17] <brunokbcao>
http://sandbox.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=11914663719726161398&bpc=1
- [22:57:27] <brunokbcao>
that thing: "last watched videos"
- [22:58:44] <DLaf>
are you using an iframe based app or are you building divs on top of the XML?
- [22:59:11] <brunokbcao>
second option
- [22:59:25] <brunokbcao>
if i use the first, I lose all opensocial interaction
- [23:00:09] <DLaf>
exactly.. A lot of people are using iframe I think.
- [23:00:47] <Sambi>
ok guys time to leave hopefully by next time my app gets approved.
- [23:01:26] * Sambi (n=bsambire@64-83-197-49.dhcp.stcd.mn.charter.com) has left #opensocial
