With sites like facebook using applications and now myspace following suit its clear that social websites are the next big thing. With this in mind I was wondering if the team on this site had thought about creating an open social app (ref. google) to make the site more accessible. fyi. Open Social is a coding standard / platform from google which means people can design applications / modules that are cross site compatible. Let me know what you think!

And how does that improve our mission to be a support site?

DemolitionxXxLover Posted at 2:28 am on May 19, 2008 sounds good.   gnr90 Posted at 1:36 am on May 19, 2008 A LWspace??? wow... Aurelius Posted at 1:36 am on May 19, 2008 I will say this now, and speak no more. There is only one Lord of Livewire. Only one. And he does not share power.
