Sending private messages on Friendster

I had to write a quick sample today to send a private message to the OWNER on Friendster.  The following sends a message to your Friendster message inbox:

function sendNotification() {
  var params = {};
  params[opensocial.Message.Field.TITLE] =
      "Title of the notification goes here";
  params[opensocial.Message.Field.TYPE] =
      opensocial.Message.Type.PRIVATE_MESSAGE;
  var body="Text of the notification goes here";
  var message = opensocial.newMessage(body, params);
  var recipient = opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.OWNER;
  opensocial.requestSendMessage(recipient, message,
      onSendNotification);
};

function onSendNotification(resp) {
  if (!resp.hadError() && resp.getData().status == "sent") {
    alert("The message was sent to the OWNER");
  } else {
    alert("There was a problem: " + resp.getErrorMessage());
  }
};

sendNotification();

Note the message type is set to PRIVATE_MESSAGE.  Friendster also supports type NOTIFICATION, but I haven't quite figured out where that shows up, and I get a "Insufficient permissions for action 'publicMessage'" error message when trying PUBLIC_MESSAGE.

Also note that this is for OpenSocial 0.7.  If you're migrating this code to another container on 0.8, you'll need to change the IdSpec stuff (as I've covered before).
