Hey, did you remember that Viacom is in the business of social networks? Their pseudo-white label social network Flux is still going strong, and has today announced support for Google's OpenSocial. The Flux Developer Blog now indicates that their implementation package should be 'coming soon.'

The network is of significant size, but Flux is still in an early growth phase. Nonetheless, they were conspicuously absent from the OpenSocial launch that included MySpace, Bebo, Orkut, LinkedIn and just about every single social network name but Facebook in their launch partner list.

An unnamed source at Flux told CNET that Viacom was not part of that initial launch due to security concerns of the new app standard.
