Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about the issues highlighted by Causes leaving MySpace and ideablob suddenly shutting down. Greenpeace International on facebook. When visiting the Greenpeace International facebook page, visitors see the Take Action tab as default, instead of the typical facebook wall or information pages.

Essentially the Cloud is a server/service where you can store your hard drive/database/documents/apps/software making it accessible any where at any time thus giving it mobility. Make new friends (Google+) and keep the old (Myspace). They move with you from one site to the next and maybe in the case of Myspace, back again.

An online database of Twitter Apps called oneforty currently lists almost 2,900 third-party Twitter Apps. After you record a message, you are given a URL for the message that you can post on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. While some nonprofits have been early adopters of Twitter Apps, the vast majority are not.

The power of the API lies in the ability to connect databases and applications to provide a 360-degree view of your constituents; this is something that can only be achieved when all of your systems (and other applications that contain valuable information) are talking in real time, versus collecting and transferring data after the fact.

Now that Causes removed itself, its content, and any related data from MySpace, organizations cannot connect with their supporters who were using Causes.

OpenSocial is a set of APIs that handle three different kinds of user data: profiles, social graph (who your friends are) and activities (the stuff of the Facebook news feeds.) Facebook has quite the motivation to keep people on Facebook, and keep the eyeballs there, because of their revenue model, which is ad-based.

Turns out, unlike Facebook, or Myspace and such, the “Spock Bot&# makes pages for people without their knowing. Creepy part: do I really want to know what’s on my ex-girlfriend’s MySpace page? .&# Well, I already trust them, so I joined them. So I did the usual, gave up my gmail password.

As I learned from attending the just completed Convio Summit in Austin, Texas, a discussion about APIs and databases fortunately doesnt have to be technical. The essence of an API is that it enables databases and applications to talk to each other, so you can share data and host data in multiple places simultaneously.

Some newbie spammer posted a message on my site that shows the contents of their spam merge database. Someone in my {Myspace|Facebook} group shared this {site|website} with us so I came to {give it a look|look it over|take a look|check it out}. It goes on and on, but you''ll get the idea pretty quickly. I found it fascinating.
