Applications implementing the OpenSocial APIs are [[interoperability|interoperable]] with any social network system that supports them. At launch, OpenSocial took a one-size-fits-all approach to development. As it became more robust and the user-base expanded, OpenSocial modularized the platform to allow developers to only include the parts of the platform it needed.<ref name="OS100" />

===Implementation===
An [[open-source software|open-source]] project, [[Shindig (software)|Shindig]], was launched in December 2007, to provide a [[reference implementation]] of the OpenSocial standards. It has the support of Google, Ning, and other companies developing OpenSocial-related software. The Myspace OpenSocial parser was released as project Negroni in January 2011 and provides a [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]] based implementation of OpenSocial.
 
Apache Rave is a lightweight and open-standards based extensible platform for using, integrating and hosting OpenSocial and W3C Widget related features, technologies and services.
