LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Stickam.com, a social networking website that sets itself apart with its live video chat features, announced today that they are creating applications utilizing Google's OpenSocial APIs - - allowing OpenSocial-enabled platforms to integrate Stickam's technology.
Stickam is the first live social networking website that has announced their plan to release OpenSocial applications, and believes that all internet users can benefit from their live technology. In their goal to engage developers and share their technology with the world, Stickam is creating their own application for OpenSocial-enabled sites.
"We recognize that we are in an open-platform era, and believe in building synergy with the incredible creativity and ideas that exists around us," says Hideki Kishioka of Stickam. "Implementing Google's OpenSocial will allow other developers to apply our technology - and as a result, provide a richer and fully-integrated experience for the millions of people who use the internet worldwide."
In November, Google released their OpenSocial APIs - a common set of APIs for building social applications that allow developers to have a standard language when creating their applications for websites.
