Trying to catch up on your other blogs. Disclosure: I work for rsitez.com, a white label social networking platform that focus on monetizing networks. Question: How can the everyday non-tech user including group admins on social networking sites monetize their networks via open social? Thanks, Rohan Hall www.rsitez.com Jeremiah,

Here's a question that I would ask: "How do you envision blog widgets working with FB apps working with OpenSocial apps to create a unified user experience?" Hi Jeremiah,

I’m looking forward to the panel.

Here’s a question that I would ask:

“How do you envision blog widgets working with FB apps working with OpenSocial apps to create a unified user experience?”

This has not only led to 'application fatigue' but decreases the value of applications to both users and marketers offering something of value (or developers). Facebook are now making inroads into this by adapting the newsfeed, notification and invitation rules to ensure that users only get relevant messages and invites. As a marketer, I believe that this is absolutely vital for the future of applications. To be of real benefit, they must not only give value, but also be visible, and not buried in spam from other applications simply trying to get eyeballs for ads rather than real engagement (not naming names). Are the open social initiative planning on creating rules to maintain application value within the framework, or are they going to leave this to individual networks? This is important, as if the rules vary by network then the application may have to be programmed differently to ensure that they are optimised for each platform. Thanks, Josh Hi Jeremiah,
