Facebook has NO incentive to join OpenSocial - developers will automatically build for Facebook regardless because of the popularity and consumer reach. Facebook only loses by joining OpenSocial. Google gains by opening up a proprietary system and figuring out a way to tap into ad revenue. GSB

me thinking... independent from 'social network owners' space is achieved by applications using this API. next step, 'biggest ads company' offers creators (anyone) % of income from ads viewed in applications. ...times are comming where being a small targeted social network will be an adventage.

true .... the thing is that I was getting bored so I jumped to some parts of the video .... I just watched a litle more of it ... but still .... it's only an interface .... nothing more .... yes there are a lot of api's out there .... but it's not like you have to reprogram the thing for each user .... yes it's easyer with evereything standart from the one who made the thing .... but that does not mean that it is imposible, or hard to do with a team behind you. that's whyI think it's not so hot

"How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Terrible title but good book.

This is an open framework. It can't be a monopoly.

Not really. Social networks can be very valuable platforms. If facebook is very popular developers are forced to distribute only through them. Google has destroyed a monopoly before it happened. Facebook I hope you open up too.

When Google Video failed to get traction & was unable to beat Youtube, they simply bought the latter. Google would have liked to buy Facebook - but it wasn't for sale and microsoft beat them in the courtship. So, OpenSocial is a "if we can't be the #1 player and if we can't buy it, then we'll make sure nobody owns this" move.
