Just a week after announcing that they will support OpenSocial, European social network Netlog has announced that Yahoo will market the service in Europe. The deal is an exclusive one in Germany and Netlog is Yahoo’s first network partner in Germany. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Comscore reports that Netlog’s services reach 1.3 million unique users, who spend an average of 177 minutes on its sites and reach a total of 676 million page views per month.

Could this be a replacement for Bebo which may leave Yahoo now that AOL has acquired the social network. And more importantly, could this be the first step towards a Yahoo acquisition?

Here at Graphing Social Patterns, Userplane will announce later today the launch of white label plugins for a variety of content management systems (CMS). Plug-ins for Userplane Webmessenger, Webchat and Webrecorder applications are now available for VBulletin, WordPress, Drupal, Mambo, Joomla and phpFoX.

This should help Userplane further their distribution by offering an easy integration for those users who utilize a CMS system. This isn’t as robust as what other white label social networks such as KickApps, Ning or Magnify.net provide but is an easy way to add additional functionality to a CMS quickly and easily. The key for users is to determine a strategy before installing any widget, plugin or social network addon. Changing strategies later on can be very costly.

I will report back with more details after the live announcement later today. In the meantime, check out our interview with CEO Michael Jones.
