What would you like to see show up when you search?

Today at #TCDisrupt ,  Seth Sternberg and Ardan Arac announced that we'll soon be integrating Google+ Platform app activities [1] into Google Search. 

Soon, if you search for a site or app on Google.com (and that app has integrated with Google+ Sign-In app activities), you'll see popular and aggregate user activity next to search results. For example, searching for Fandango will show the top movies among Google+ users. And when you click on a movie, you’ll go directly to its page on Fandango.

Take heed developers.  Structured data connected to users will soon improve search for everyone.

Big props to Andrew Davis, Mark W. and the rest of the Opensocial community for getting this done! Major accomplishment.

Voting has started for the new OpenSocial 2.0 specification. If you're not already involved, and you're interested in open apps, this is a great time to get activated. The steps:

1. Sign up here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?key=0Aki8A6bvOtZNcGNXZXY1cUtjMk9DQXhvUjNBYlpjWl... Participation in OpenSocial is free and open to all.

2. When you receive notification that you've been added, vote on this revision: http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-resources/source/detail?r=1520

OpenSocial 2.0 is a huge step forward for the specification, incorporating many of the systems (like ActivityStreams and OAuth) that we use on the modern social web. I'm excited by this push -- let's get it released!

Would be interested in getting feedback on this nascent spec from mail.ru. WDYT OpenSocial and Activitystreams folks?
