Cforms || is a very useful plugin for wordpress and I hope it will take away all programming stuffs in future. This plugin helps you to deploy multiple forms in your blogs. It will only take a little time to configure the required forms and it has a very efficient user interface. I used this plugin in a job site to collect students details. I feel it is very powerful with plenty of customization options.
Cforms provides you to build forms in multiple pages or posts, multiple forms in pages and also helps to customize of your current comment fields. The collected data can be inserted into a database or it will be sent to an email address provided.

A couple of days back open social applications were launched in orkut. The initial responses are pretty good and most of the users are very much interested in getting familiar with this. Gaming applications are more popular among these and no doubt it will make users to spend more time on social networks with open social. One of the impressive games that I found was Type Ricer, it is really amazing.
As an open social developer it is very effortless to make an application if you have basic knowledge in java script and html. For example I have made a sample application for Contact Virus which shows the contact lists of the contact virus user on their orkut profile. Actually the whole thing is running in a different platform, I just used a iframe to show the result in the profile and a mapping mechanism to show corresponding lists of the user.
<![CDATA[
<script type="text/javascript">
function getData() {
var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest('OWNER'), 'owner');
req.add(req.newFetchPeopleRequest ('VIEWER_FRIENDS'), 'viewerFriends');
req.send(onLoad);
};
function onLoad(dataResponse) {
var owner = dataResponse.get('owner').getData();
var viewerFriends = dataResponse.get('viewerFriends').getData();
var html = '';
var iFrame = document.getElementById("iframeId");
iFrame.src = 'http://www.contactvirus.com/opensocial/index?orkutid='+owner.getId();
document.getElementById('message').innerHTML = html;
};
</script>
<div id="message"></div>
<iframe id="iframeId" name="myFrame" style="border:none;width:100%;height:200px;overflow-y:hidden;overflow-x:hidden" >
</iframe>
]]>
So many applications are in mind yet to be completed. This is really interesting and provides great advertisement scope in social networking sites.
