The code for social-list will be made available in 2010
social-list is a jquery plugin that allows a site owner to make any list on her site social. It takes a jquery selector as an input, and treat every item as a list item. Once applied to a list, social-list allows users of the site to login using google friend connect or facebook connect, create their own list out of the initial list, and share it with their friends. Users can also see how other users have ordered the list, in aggregate. In terms of backend, social-list uses a very simple google appengine backend, making it very easy to deploy. The backend is in Python but it is quite easy tio port it to other languages and platforms. The backend can be deployed at another host (social-list uses jsonp to interact with it), making it possible to use social-list on any html page on a host that has no server side scripting capability.
