Ning Apps based on OpenSocial launched

OpenSocial has announced the launch of Ning Apps.

These applications are now available to more than 1.5 million networks powered by Ning technology.

These networks are used by more than 33 million users worldwide.

The applications being provided have been developed by around 90 developers around the world.

The developers said in a blog post:

First, with a single click, a Ning Network Creator can now add Ning Apps to expand the functionality of their Ning Network and increase engagement by their members. Most social platforms rely exclusively on members adding applications to their profile pages, but when a Network Creator adds a Ning App, that Ning App is available to all of the members of that Ning Network in a flash. This means that with one action, a Network Creator can make their Ning App available to hundreds, thousands or even millions of people instantaneously. This is a different – and we think better – approach to application distribution.

Second, with the breadth of Ning Apps, the options on Ning Networks are infinite for Network Creators. Here are some examples of how Ning Networks can use Ning Apps to engage their unique audience in a relevant and effective way.
