MySpace is excited to officially announce the OpenSocial Foundation. The OpenSocial Foundation will ensure that OpenSocial can be used openly and at no cost now and into the future.

It is very important that the MySpace Developer Platform ecosystem can continue to innovate and collaborate in a communal and productive environment. The OpenSocial Foundation helps to foster such an environment.
