Data portability on the social web is enough of a conundrum that it has its own open workgroup,which, unfortunately, despite having good intentions, has not thus farmanaged to produce a consensus among its members (which include Google, Facebook and other big name social web services).[1]
Are you done? Are all of Google's products liberated?
No. While users can get data out of our products one way or another, we're about two thirds of the way through and we continue to work to make it easier to get data in and out of our products. [2]
Are you trying to start a consortium?
No, but we'd be thrilled if other companies followed our lead.[2]Are you creating new standards and formats for data?
No. We're working to use existing open standards formats wherever possible,and to document how we use those formats in a clear simple manner.[2]
Similarly, major identity providers like Google, Facebook are stuck at sharing a few hundred million users between them, they shift their attention to somehow involving all those users that didn’t sign up withthem. Pretty much all of them are OpenID providers already. Facebookjust took the obvious next step in becoming a relying party as well.The economics are mindbogglingly simple: Facebook doesn’t make money from verifying peoples identity but they do make money from people using their services.

Social networks have largely been built on the premise of being walled gardens in such a way that users can't communicate or share content or friends across networks;
My prediction is that by the end of the year Facebook will become the most open social network on the social web.

This experimental method refers to big, known brands where users were already logged in, it requires zero typing - just two clicks - and it takes advantage of the OpenID authentication opportunity to get quick permission to leverage the well established OAuth data swap to facilitate immediate personalization - at the same time, with nothing but 2 clicks required of users.
No new accounts, no disclosure of Gmail passwords to Plaxo, no risky account scraping and no need to import or find friends on the new service before immediate personalization could be offered.
Only 8% of the people who clicked to log in with a standards based 3rd party authentication ended up deciding to bail instead. That's the kind of ease-of-use that people presumed only Facebook Connect could provide.
