Imeem Adds OpenSocial to Media Platform

Posted by Kristen Nicole under 1

Imeem’s platform offerings just got bigger, with the addition of support for OpenSocial. This is part of Imeem’s recently launched Media Platform, which interestingly allows apps to be created using Imeem’s license for use of music from the major record labels.

Announced today at the OpenSocial Summit at Googleplex, Imeem is finally a full-fledged member of the OpenSocial camp. Though Imeem is widely known for its music-sharing capabilities, Imeem still encompasses a great deal of other media within its social network.

Developers hoping to tap into any segment of Imeem’s network can do so, quite easily if they already have an OpenSocial application. A few details about the OpenSocial support:

· Full support for the core OpenSocial JavaScript APIs, including access to people and relationships on imeem as well as access to data persistence APIs

· Added support for the OpenSocial gadget xml, making it easy for developers to specify their entire application in the OpenSocial gadget xml standard

· imeem-specific OpenSocial extensions, making it possible for developers to access imeem’s media metadata through the OpenSocial JavaScript APIs. This includes the ability to get back a specific user’s media, search for media in imeem’s vast media library, as well as get access to music, video, and photo content on imeem.
