Hi Nick, thanks for the post!

Thanks much for covering Gigya's product news in your post yesterday. I wanted to briefly clarify some key details of the product release.
Gigya Socialize is currently able to access the social graph APIs of both MySpace and Facebook. Please note that both social networks are currently available!

Socialize enables website owners to add social features to web sites by making it easy for them to give their user's access to their friend lists on Facebook and MySpace as well as webmail services. Socialize is not a tool for porting Facebook applications to MySpace. Socialize gives website developers direct access to Gigya's API for custom implementations, or they can choose to implement turnkey components, hence its direct competition with Google Friend Connect. The announcement is more in the realm of data portability than about OpenSocial and application platform standards.

Additionally, Gigya enjoys wide scale developer adoption with thousands of partners using its Wildfire widget technology. According to comScore, Gigya is the largest widget platform worldwide in terms of reach.

Looking forward to a great conference on Monday, see you then.

I've tested Gigya and it's really cool for API developers. They should have been out earlier.
