Tim says: If all OpenSocial does is allow developers to port their applications more easily from one social network to another, that’s a big win for the developer, as they get to shop their application to users of every participating social network.

This means that anyone can hack their phones – and a raft of developers can create really interesting kinds of software for phones. We hope that this will spur development for more social applications and mashups as well as better distribution of these applications worldwide. This is big.

It would have been nice to have heard from a circuit-rider or "for-little-profit" integrator/consultant type person, and maybe another nonprofit type (a moderately tech savvy ED?) Also, basically, what made an API "open" was that it was free to use, and well documented.
