OpenSocial not so Open?

by Walter Naeslund on November 14, 2007

…wait a minute. Now I got a little worried. OpenSocial is perhaps not so cool after all. Björn Fant pointed me to this piece written by none other than Tom O’Reilly himself.

Apparently an OpenSocial-application cannot fetch data from another application, but only from itself. So what is the point then? Is the only point that you can recycle apps on different platforms? Not much incentive for the end user then is there?
