Curious to read your thoughts about OpenSocial. You should give Friend Connect a shot.

Congratulations for getting Seesmic funded: the idea is great and I look forward to seeing your team executing that vision.

Thanks for this very good summary of FaceBook's dilemna.
Music may be to social platforms what office automation became to operating systems. I'm surprised Apple didn't enter that game yet.

Agreed... although the metaphor I'm using is more a game of Go than chess or poker:-)

Re: Scott Rafer: The Facebook Platform is Dead

Obviously I'm biased, working for Google on OpenSocial, but here are my 2 cents:-)

The growth opportunity is not in Facebook Connect but in OpenSocial: there are new OpenSocial containers every month (Netlog and Friendster in september), making social applications available to new users, with a total reach of 375 million users today.

These social site's user base are located in different geographies: hi5 in South America, Orkut in Brazil and India, Friendster in Asia, Netlog in Europe, so you need to localize your app.
Or they have a different type of user base, like professional social networks Viadeo, Xing and LinkedIn: there are opportunities to build a different type of social apps in these environments.

Your best investment today as a social app developer is to port your app to OpenSocial, localize it and deploy it to all the networks that support it. Networks like hi5 and Netlog have systems in place where they will do the localization for you.
