RenRen Launches OpenSocial 0.9 Support

As one of the leading social networking sites in China, renren has always been a close partner of OpenSocial, following all the product and technology progress of OpenSocial. After one month of intensive development and testing, the renren Open Platform formally announced the support for OpenSocial 0.9.

This OpenSocial upgrade on Renren consists of the following progress:

• Full support of all the features of OpenSocial v0.9
• A more friendly payment interface
• Support for the RESTful API of OpenSocial
• More useful info on the wiki

After one year’s growth, over 2,000 third party applications have been launched on the renren Open Platform. A batch of top applications have acquired millions of users. In order to build a healthy and open environment for the developers to unleash their talents and realize the entrepreneurship, the renren Open Platform keeps improving the functionality and efficiency of its own API, and firmly chose OpenSocial as a open API standard.

OpenSocial helps developers to reduce the cost of development and implement features effectively. Especially for the overseas developers, it is quite easy for them to transplant the hot oversea OpenSocial-supported applications to China. The Renren Open platform has benefited a lot from OpenSocial.

With innovation and openness, the Renren Open Platform will continue the partnership with OpenSocial, together with global developers, and drive the new Open Era of China internet.
