The new alternative will NOT be OpenSocial...
Users are uniquely identified by a combination of the environment domain and user id (only unique to domain).
Basically, this means that 99.9% of OpenSocial apps will consider you to be a different user for each domain you install the app.
If I install an app on MySpace and spend the time to personalize it, I should not have to repeat the process when I install the same app on Hi5.
OpenSocial = Weak platform w/ too much hype!

in Have Facebook Apps Peaked? on AllFacebook
Foolish? The numbers are real and nobody questions the "potential" of the platform.
It has simply gotten very difficult to succeed and fanboys continue to hype Facebook as if it is the Web of '95.

in Facebook Extends Platform to the Web on AllFacebook
Yeah, this really isn't that big of a deal since it requires users to be registered on Facebook. Maybe if they had added support for OpenID too.

Sorry to burst the FB bubble, but this isn't that big of a deal since the API has allowed you to build web apps since Day 1. The only difference is client-side JavaScript vs. server-side PHP, which is very minor.

Investing 101 = Diversification.
Hence why it is so critical for developers to create apps that can run on multiple platforms. And this is also precisely why users will eventually demand open solutions to social graphing.

in How Is Facebook Worth $15 Billion? on AllFacebook
But users always prefer open solutions to walled gardens.
Facebook will need to become more open or they will go the way of Friendster.

If the major social networks start supporting OpenID, RSS and Microformats instead of their custom walled garden, what value will they have left?

in Is Facebook Winning the MySpace Battle? on AllFacebook
As an app developer, I've seen the Facebook over the last two months as well. It's still growing, but at a noticeably slower rate.

name 10 apps that have been developed and financially successful?
1.) cities i've visited getting bought out by trip advisor
given the number of users that many apps have, you'd expect to have a lot of examples, but i think facebook really is changing the fate (f8) of development.
it is getting far too easy to make an app and have massive exposure, which devalues all other apps.
remember when people thought they could create a blog, get a lot of traffic, and then cash out? well, that is the same pipe dream as a popular facebook app.
face it, developers are going the way of factory workers.
