Look at it like that and Friends Connect looks like an entry level container that widens the market for widgets by vastly increasing the number of places your widgets will run. They’ve managed to hide all the complexity of building a container or installing and integrating ShinDig into one line of javascript.

In addition to Michael Chin's comment about the publisher's perspective, I'd like your view on the user's perspective. The terms around data ownership, access, data types, etc are likely very limiting - GOOG and others wouldn't want another site to acquire the gold that makes up these social graphs: email addresses. It would level the playing field, and increase the opportunity for start-ups to create a rival service. The downside, of course, is felt by the user. What if something 1000x cooler than Facebook comes out? How do I get my social graph in there? It's not possible, and again, the user takes a backseat to protecting data silos.</p> Stacy, excellent post.
