Bebo has announced that they will also be joining OpenSocial, following the huge announcement from MySpace and Google earlier today. Additionally, Bebo has announced that they will be launching a developer program that will make it easy for programmers to port their existing Facebook applications over to Bebo.
From Michael Birch, Bebo’s Co-Founder & CEO:
"Developers and social networks have an important, symbiotic relationship, the success of which depends on developers not having to replicate the work they do to get their innovations in front of the largest possible community. Bebo supports open standards, to make it as seamless as possible for developers to reach our 39 million strong community and provide intriguing and engaging features to our users."
Much like MySpace, Bebo had previously announced plans for their own platform, but appears to have gone the Google route instead. Bebo says they will be making further platform announcements on November 13th. Bebo currently claims more than 39 million members.
