Time Warner-owned AOL has become the latest online group to throw its support behind OpenSocial, the Google-led initiative that plans to make it easier to develop applications for social media websites.
AOL said its plans to support OpenSocial, beginning with the adoption of Google Gadgets on myAOL.com, will allow users to add the web-based applications to myAOL pages.
In March, Yahoo announced plans to join the initiative, which already has Google and MySpace among its backers.
Now the pressure will be on Facebook, as it has yet to join, having continued to develop its own social media standards.
