@jl: We try our best to get it right and I for one take any suggestions to heart (hence my correction of the posting). With that said, there are many times that we’re posting in the wee hours of the morning in an effort to get good, relevant and up-to-date info scheduled so if we have a misspelling or a grammatical error, that’s less important to us than actually getting the content up for our readers.

I’m afraid your enthusiasm of Myspace promoting the use of Javascript is premature.

All Javascript you write for them has to pass through Caja sanitization, even though it’s running in an iframe.

More importantly, however, the don’t allow you to import your own JS libraries (all JS that you include must come from the Myspace servers; currently this means just jQuery) so you can’t use anything like GWT or even Prototype and definitely not any library that you wrote yourself, unless you manage to inline it and get it to pass through Caja.

With these restrictions (no external scrips and Caja handcuffs), Flash is actually a much more attractive option for developing Myspace apps that Javascript.

In my criticism on the OpenSocial Group (http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-orkut/browse_thread/thread/23c74e0415ae6abb) I urge Google to insist that Myspace comply with the OpenSocial spec and remove these extra restrictions. If everyone implements their own subset of the spec, the whole idea of OpenSocial becomes useless.

@pinchworm — I’ve been “that guy” a couple times round this site, and have since decided to stop because nothing ever changes. There’s also another post (currently showing up on the home page) that uses “too” instead of “to,” but I’ll let everyone figure out where that is.

Come on, ed team — it’s time to step it up a notch.

“it’s” = it is, not the possessive of “it”.

“the keys to itâ€™s playground”, “while protecting itâ€™s users” – should be “its”.

Now you know!
