The 6 essential things you need to know about Google's OpenSocial
At least, that is, the other social networking sites that support OpenSocial's API . Social networking site APIs aren't anywhere as complex as say, the Windows APIs, but we've seen this before with platforms such as Java, where the development model can't support the full capabilities of the underlying operating systems. Finally, most of the really popular development platforms, including Ruby on Rails, can support the server-side API. I've spent the last few days keeping track of the seemingly endless stream of news and blog coverage about Google's new OpenSocial model for social networking applications.

OpenCalais to Add Semantic Metadata to Oracle Databases
Oracle directly calls the OpenCalais API through your normal database administration, though users will still have to grab an API key from Reuters.
Other than getting an API key, incorporating OpenCalais should be straightforward. Oracle's Spatial 11g , an RDF management platform, directly calls the API to perform the transaction.
Enterprise giant Oracle released its Database 11g Release 2 today, and it now supports OpenCalais , the Semantic Web service from Thomson Reuters. Native support for OpenCalais means users can now extract rich semantic metadata

Twitter Might Start Adding Comments & Location-Based Information to Each Tweet
At the 140 Twitter Conference yesterday, Alex Payne , Twitter's API lead told Robert Scoble that Twitter might soon add location-based information to every tweet. Twitter's current system of 'favorites'/stars is probably not a heavily used feature (something Twitter's own FAQ acknowledges) and it is hard to see why one would favorite a post except as a replacement for bookmarking. Currently, users can set a location on their profile, but individual tweets are not geo-coded in any way. If Twitter did indeed add a geo-references to every tweet, then that would open up the door

Google's PowerMeter. It's Cool, but don't Bogart My Meter Data
Google's FAQ isn't very satisfying either; it has no depth so I didn't really know what to make of it. Unfortunately, Google's FAQ doesn't really answer any questions about how the service works. org domain, but there is virtually no information about how to participate in data standards making, API specification, device development, or that kind of thing. Last week I read this piece in the New York Times about Google's PowerMeter , their entry into the smart meter game. The story was picked up in quite a few places but neither the NYT piece or related articles from

Radical Transparency: The New Federal IT Dashboard
Based on a reading of the FAQ , it looks like the initial database was generated from data provided by agencies to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on congressionally-mandated reporting forms. Unlike the main usaspending.gov site, whose API offers 1000 records at a time and discourages repeated calls to download the whole database, the data behind the IT Dashboard is easily downloaded in its entirety. Today, at the Personal Democracy Forum in New York, Vivek Kundra , the US national CIO, unveiled the new IT spending dashboards at usaspending.gov . The dashboards are

Tekarma: A Social Homepage for Every Product (Invites)
The idea for the site, as Tekarma's Alex Kazim pointed out to use today, was to provide a comprehensive homepage for every product that would allow users to get tech support, read FAQs, and discuss the product with other users. The content on the site is completely user-generated, though Tekarma also uses Shopping.com 's APIs to pull in product specs, which, however, can later be edited by the users.
Tekarma , a new user-generated product support site, launched its private beta today. Tekarma wants to provide users with central place to find and share tips and trick about
