Hi everyone - I'm Jim Craner; I'm the managing partner of a nonprofit-focused web development group, the Chicago Technology Cooperative, and I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone at N2Y3! I'm an Advocate and one of the volunteer developers for the Movesmart.org project (N2Y3 profile) - a mashup providing housing-seekers with information on neighborhood amenities, quality of life indicators, affordable housing opportunities, and the services and programs of community based organizations.

With all the recent buzz on OpenSocial, Google's new open API for social networks, Web Guild's event: OpenSocial--High Octane for Widgets and Web Apps caught my eye. So I headed down to the Googleplex on Wed. night to listen to the panel discussions to find out more about OpenSocial with an eye for how nonprofits can leverage this platform.
