I hear myspace will be using this - hope they won't be abandoning coldfusion. it's always good to say "well myspace uses it" when someone asks about what coldfusion is.

Anyone have an idea when they will be really open? I went to look - but it said it is just specs now. Hard to write code w/o a real backend to hit. ;)

For now the closest you'll get is to sign up to the Orkut test run. Here's the OpenSocial sign up page;

Hey Ray,
