Updates to OpenSocial apps on orkut

Posted on 12:13 PM by Unknown
By now, some of you have probably noticed that we've made some changes to OpenSocial apps on orkut. To make sure everyone knows what's going on, we thought we'd quickly run through what's new in this post.
  • OpenSocial apps categories: To make it easier to find the perfect Open Social application to fit your needs, we've organized the apps into categories. Now, whether you're interested in an app related to finance or just a simple game, you can quickly and easily find what you're looking for. You can now see the most popular and most recently added OpenSocial apps, as well as the apps your friends are using, broken down by category.
  • OpenSocial apps stats: A great way to find new OpenSocial apps to try is by looking at how many people use particular apps and how often. We've recently made this comparison much easier by adding stats on the number of users each app has, as well as its weekly usage directly to the 'application info' page.
  • New OpenSocial apps profile view: In order to help make the OpenSocial apps experience faster and more secure, we've changed how apps appear on your profile pages. All OpenSocial apps now display a combination of html and images and/or animated gifs on profile pages rather than the moving flash images some used to show. But don't worry, when you click on the app, you'll still have all the same functionality that you've always had. While this change might take some getting used to, we hope you'll appreciate how much faster and safer it makes orkut.


As always, we love to hear your feedback, so be sure to share your opinion in the orkut Help Group and let us know how we can make apps even more useful and fun.
