We so need an open & portable way of managing our social information online. I use OpenID to manage online authentication across different sites, and am pleased with this. I have a choice of providers, or I can manage it myself. But, it is limited to managing basic authentication, and is a long way from a repository for all the other types of social data that are needed for a full online identify.

Surely there is a market opportunity here? And whatever happened to opensocial?

Apparently open social went 1.0 very recently.
