OpenSocial was a "standards-based component model for cloud based social apps" formerly at http://opensocial.org/ which now redirects (along with all URLs at that domain) to a W3C blog post: http://www.w3.org/blog/2014/12/opensocial-foundation-moves-standards-work-to-w3c-social-web-activity/.
Site Death
Main article: site-deaths#OpenSocial
2014
OpenSocial closed and gave everything to W3C.
- http://opensocial.org/ now redirects to W3C blog post - all previous opensocial.org site content was dropped on the floor. Supposedly someone at W3C has a database of it so it could be restored if there was time and incentive to do so.
Though https://opensocial.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OS/Home - wiki appears up but out of date?
