How to test opensocial API in Hi5’s sandbox
December 2, 2007 – 4:35 amHi5 , social network with currently over 60 millions registered accounts and currently #9 in the Alexa Global Top500 , has also opened an Opensocial sandbox. They are part of Google's initiative since launch.
Based on the page of Hi5's developer site, here is how to access their sandbox for testing the compatibility of your new opensocial widget with their container:
- get a regular account on Hi5 to create a valid pair of userid / password
- go to http://sandbox.hi5.com and log in with userid /password
- when logged in, click on 'MyProfile'
- click then on Tab 'Applications'
- now, you can test your widget by entering its URL in 'Add External'. Here is what I get for my "Hello World" widget

While hi5 maintains its strong hold in Central America, it faces tough competition in Asia from many social networking sites. Hi5.com comes in first ten ranking in Alexa.com. You can see ranking of Fortune Park Hotels Ltd in http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/fortunehotels.in Alexa.
