Until we get friend "portability" all social networks are at risk of great big sucking sounds as everyone leaves to check out the next big thing :-) @mad finn LOL thanks for the technical review, much appreciated :-) @Joe yeah, I had originally titled this “thanks for the add” but I went back and forth on the content, I’m still have mixed feelings on this and the post went from being negative to neutral to possibly positive pretty quickly.

In the next two months Facebook will announce SocialAds and revenue sharing for those ads. From what I’m hearing what they are announcing is pretty exciting too. If Facebook is PAYING ME to stay on Facebook do you think I’m going to move to Google?" so maybe OpenSocial and Facebook users will all be able to say "thanks for the Ad".

Enable a “one-identify” system where i can use my facebook account to login to all the others and still have access to my social graph….now that would be powerful.

OpenSocial is quite a damper I think since that time when FB launched F8 Keynote. It just makes a lot more sense to view all social networks equal in terms of opportunities presented. OpenSocial I believe will encourage corporations to take online selling one notch up into social networks now that the barriers of a potential monopolistic social network falls through.

Half-assed. The only thing they released was the client side API documentation. The more interesting server side stuff that would allow you to implement this API on your own site is still completely missing. There isn't even any documentation up about it.
