Taking the happyhour OpenSocial party offline with Gears

We ran across happyhour, an OpenSocial container that implemented the JavaScript API in JavaScript itself. The happyhour project uses Gears to keep the social content around across sessions, which is an issue with a pure in-memory solution. This allows you to more easily login as multiple users in different browser windows to see "friend" interaction. The motivation for the project was speeding up the development cycle of OpenSocial components by allowing developers to bypass talking to a production server, or even a local one. Load up an HTML file and you are good to go. This also helped when getting designers into the mix as they could just style the HTML and they were done.     [SUGGEST  A  ARTICLE]
