There is an announcement today on businesswire.com about the release of a new social networking game for Facebook, allowing fans of the 2008 Beijing Summer Games to compete online, with their friends and for their country, by correctly predicting medal winners throughout this summer's events.  The is called "MyPicks Beijing 2008" and is based on zembly, a social application platform.  Here is more info from the zembly home page:

"In some ways, you can think of zembly like Wikipedia for social applications—a wiki for live, editable code that is more than just about trivial widgets, but rather about full-fledged social applications that can tap into the social graph and reach millions of users.

At zembly, you can easily and instantly...

  • author social applications using your browser
  • participate and collaborate with others around live, editable code
  • use the richness of popular web APIs to create your applications
  • publish your social applications to multiple social platforms with a single click"
zembly utilizes Sun hardware on Network.com while taking advantage of Sun's software stack the Solaris 10 Operating System, GlassFish application server and MySQL database.
