Just starting to look at this now...

Here's some useful OpenSocial pages I've found:

This reply is very useful with links and ideas: http://www.mail-archive.com/opensocial-api@googlegroups.com/msg04079.html

Here's the Ning hello world application: http://developer.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=1185512:Topic:4655&page=3&commentId=1185512:Comment:87952&x=1#1185512Comment87952

The iGoogle page is very good - and I use their sandbox quite a lot! - http://code.google.com/apis/igoogle/docs/igoogledevguide.html - sandbox at http://www.google.co.uk/ig?refresh=1

(I also find it quite funny that Google has a "legacy" gadget section already! http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/legacy/gs.html#Scratchpad

Here's the developer's guide  http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/0.8/devguide.html

An example gadget (not quite opensocial) on CodeProject - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/ajax/igoogle_gadget.aspx

MySpace also has opensocial capabilities - http://developer.myspace.com/community/opensocial/helloworld.aspx (I never use MySpace - but maybe I should take a look one day)

The www.opensocial.org  site is very useful - e.g. here's a tutorial - http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=OpenSocial_Tutorial and here's a list of containers - http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Containers

Another interesting tutorial - http://www.devx.com/webdev/Article/37952/0/page/3 (plus also see their Gadget tutorial - http://www.devx.com/webdev/Article/35007/0/page/4)

Not sure about this link - it's about xml2json - but I think there may be better ways available now - http://www.phdcc.com/xml2json.htm
