You got your good idea in my social network! You got your social network in my good idea!
So apparently someone at Google is reading Paul Davis' blog Is > Than because almost a month to a day after his post Social Media Needs Open Standards (which is a barn burner), does Google announce OpenSocial, a method for sharing social applications (and, as a result, content and data as well) across sites. This is the start of something much larger, the social web itself as a platform. Now if only someone could figure out how to make a living from it.

Thanks Dan--I was going to mention this myself but it seemed a bit...unseemly. I wish somebody at Google was reading my blog, and decided to share some of that sweet Google mint!
Well, I do think that their definition of "Open"--i.e. a non-proprietary (ish) standard--is a bit different than you or I would normally define it--i.e. Open SOURCE. But it is certainly a move in the right direction.
