Over the weekend I received an invitation to attend the MySpace OpenSocial Hack-a-thon where some top peeps would present where MySpace was with OpenSocial adoption. A couple of IGN coworkers and I decided to check it out and took the drive to FIM HQ in Beverly Hills. After some typical LA traffic, an accident on the freeway, loads of traffic on Santa Monica Blvd. and a couple wrong turns, we arrived 15 minutes late into a room of 50 people built for 20... on with the hack-a-thon.
Hack-a-thon is misleading as there was no "hacking" or thon..ing going on at all. This turned out to be purely a presentation of how-tos and Q&A. And although we were pleased to see how far along MySpace had come with implementation the lack of any hands on time was a bummer. Nothing the free pizza didn't make up for though.
Expect to see a lot more from MySpace on the OpenSocial topic over the next month or two.
