StartPad.org Open House

Our goal at StartPad.org, is to foster community support for Seattle software development startups. Since there's nothing like being in the same place to get people talking, we offer month-to-month office space in Pioneer Square. We have 3 companies working out of StartPad today (Faves, RightSized Media, and PageForest). We're looking for compatible startups to join us. This is a great chance to get your team out of your garage and into a high-energy environment with like-minded developers and entrepreneurs.

At just $300 per person per month and a minimum 2 month commitment, you can have a great place to work, and access to other developers working on the same kind of problems you're facing.

Open Social

OpenSocial is a new API developed at Google to integrate third-party applications into social networking platforms. We'll hear from two developers who have been working with Open Social from the earliest release to talk about what's working and what's not, and where the API will be extended in the future.

What can you do with OpenSocial?
Who hosts OpenSocial applications?

API Summary
Comparison of Facebook API (capabilities checkllist)
How to monetize your application.
What can't you do?
Future API additions.
Security issues (background on cross-site scripting restrictions?)
Spreading your application

Application Directories

Presenters:

Adam Loving - creator of popular Facebook application Zuckerbucks.
Vellore Vetrivelkumaran -Vetri's startup, Chronus, has been working with Open Social for several weeks before the public launch.
