Orkut, the social networking community site owned by Google, has rolled out OpenSocial applications to its users in India and will continue to expand geographically over the next few weeks. The OpenSocial API, on which Orkut’s platform is based, was launched by Google last year.
Apps are integrated directly into your orkut experience. When you log into your profile, you will be able to add up to 25 apps to your orkut profile. Your friends will see all the apps you’ve added, be able to interact with them, and can add any apps they like to their own profiles.
