You need to reflect what Microsoft/Facebook is GOING to do next into the equation.

Microsoft has such a hold on the platform, browser and applications at this point, that their next move will be important to watch. Microsoft still hold the windows and shades on how we interact with the internet.

90-95% (any guesses) of the time spent by most people are not on Google or MySpace. I am on GigaOm more than on Google, :-).

Another thing to watch will be the next steps from MySpace to control how OpenSocial turns out.

And the API’s on both sides are still somewhat close in what it provides. The show is not over yet.

So If I search on Google Maps for driving directions to “Sam’s house”, Google Maps should access my friends contacts and find the directions directly. Or If I say , on Google Talk or Yahoo messenger, to call “Sam’s phone”, then it should find Sam in my contacts phonelist and call the person up.
And one should be able to import contacts etc from each others databases. While Google’s OpenSocial helps developers by helping them leverage their code, this Open Contact will help the consumers by helping them leverage their contacts info , across multiple sites.

Similarly, my Groups (Yahoogroups, GoogleGroups, etc) should be portable across multiple social networksing sites. So on for my posts on walls, etc

I especially like the one about always being reminded how huge Orkut is in brazil.

Here’s a geeky one: Create a google alert for “opensocial” and set the alerts to be “as they come”. Then, for every time a new alert comes through, you take a drink.
