having a DevJam, a soft launch for its 3rd party social

applications which uses OpenSocial API. A week before the

said soft launch an uproar occurs, the current platform

supports OpenSocial API 0.6 but most of the developers

wants MySpace to support OpenSocial API 0.7 which Google

releases on the same date MDP goes live to

developers. And they go as far as creating a poll to

let developers have a say whether to support v0.7 later

and continue with v0.6 or support it now.

OpenSocial v0.6 and 0.7 has viral changes.
