Ah yes, I should have mentioned this.  OpenSocial is a way to get  
existing web services talking to each other (and reception has been  
pretty cool as far as I can see).  What it doesn't do is make it  
easier to write your own social networking application.  OTOH perhaps  
SSNCP should speak a superset of the opensocial API, I don't know I  
haven't looked at it in much detail.
