Social Networking Site Netlog Joins OpenSocial

Geared primarily at the youth of Europe, social networking site Netlog has announced that it has joined Google’s OpenSocial program. Check out the details of their OpenSocial implementation.

Netlog plans to focus on localization of OpenSocial apps and unlike most of the other OpenSocial providers, will offer their apps in multiple languages. Netlog will actively help developers to localize their applications in various European languages. They are also going to focus on apps that add advertising stating, "The development of quality applications, in combination with advertising and Netlog’s unique credit eco-system, offers an unprecedented opportunity for companies to engage directly with their customers."

Netlog reports 35 million members, 4 billion monthly pageviews and 25 million unique monthly visitors. I don’t know much about Netlog and checking with two of my European connections, they haven’t heard of it either.

This follows yesterday’s news that AOL has joined OpenSocial.
