"On October 30, 2007 Plaxo announced that their Pulse feature would be one of the first applications to support Google's OpenSocial initiative.\nA few weeks later, the company reported that the number of connections made on the service had taken off exponentially, from a couple hundred thousand to more than a million.  Today, Plaxo has provided an update on those numbers, and the upward trend seems to have continued, with more than 7 million connections now made through the service:\n\nWhile FriendFeed has grabbed most of the hype recently in the so-called lifestreaming space, Plaxo's early adoption of OpenSocial appears to be paying off.Of course, the question is: did Plaxo experience such a boost because of OpenSocial, or because they received a lot of press simply for being the first app to embrace it? Whichever is true, they definitely achieved something there, and if nothing else, it shows that being the first to embrace intelligent, open initiative can pay off really well in the long run."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
