-- Posted by Anonymous at 1:32 am on May 19, 2008 I spend quite a lot of time learning about the internet (because im a geek).. and the one thing ive noticed over the years in the internet is becoming more social. 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! -- Posted by TwitchyFish at 1:34 am on May 19, 2008 Definitely sounds cool. -- Posted by Aurelius 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. -- Posted by gnr90 at 1:36 am on May 19, 2008 A LWspace??? wow... -- Posted by DemolitionxXxLover at 2:28 am on May 19, 2008 sounds good.   -- Posted by HoneyMonster at 3:00 am on May 19, 2008 this will never happen this is a social SUPPORT website not social networking. -- Posted by Anonymous at 4:23 am on May 19, 2008 Quote: from HoneyMonster at 11:00 am on May 19, 2008 this will never happen this is a social SUPPORT website not social networking. the idea isn't to make it a social network. wikipedia is a social website but its not a social networking site. the practical side of LW adopting the open social platform is people using other sites like facebook and myspace can access LW content from one place. as far as im aware LW already has an igoogle application for recent topics. its just an extention to that. -- Posted by iwashere85 at 9:52 am on May 22, 2008 Um.. These applications, where would they be placed? And how does that improve our mission to be a support site? -- Posted by nikki at 10:15 am on May 22, 2008 It won't happen. LiveWire isn't MySpace or Facebook.
