As you probably remember, we reported a while back 
that XING is participating in Google’s
OpenSocial Initiative, along with many other well-known companies. What has happened since then and what exactly will OpenSocial be like on XING? Matthias Häsel, Felix Weiss, Mark Schütte and other XING experts are discussing this at the Google Developer Day2008 at the ICM Munich. In a breakout session with Google developer advocates Patrick Chanezon and Chewy Trewhella, they are reporting on opportunities that XING members will have to access cool applications in the future. The applications will benefit XING members in their business lives in many ways, and, of course, all applications must conform to the XING data privacy regulations. XING is pleased to have the chance to discuss all of this with these excellent OpenSocial developers, who work according to the motto “Learn once, write anywhere”.
There is still time to join us and share any ideas you may have.

Thanks in advance for your reply
Hi Mickael,
There are different options available to external developers as part of the openSocial initiative. Apps will only be adopted from partners here that fit with our brand and once contractual agreements have been closed. Business models that provide our members with added value are not excluded. The relevance of the application is the crucial criterion.
….but this has nothing todo with http://www.opensocial.org/
so please xing dont use this name nomore.
Its just false advertising
cheers
