Hi Paul:

Feel free to contact me if you have questions about how you can use this for your own site.

I am curious about something. Did you guys implement the OpenSocial data APIs? For example, GET from {domain}/feeds/people/{userid} ?

We've just started getting our data api implementation out there. You can see http://api.hi5.com/ for some minimal docs on where this is going.

This seems to be the 2nd half of the OpenSocial equation that I don't see anyone talking about; the ability to blend info on my friends from different sites into a combined view.

Right, there are a lot of open loops to be closed on this. Expect to hear more about this in the coming weeks. For example there are moves towards OAuth, moving to an opensocial namespace for data, and more.

I haven't seen any way in the javascript API to specify where the data comes from. Maybe this is a temporary oversight. On the other hand, SPI implementers could provide this via server-side extensions... IF people support the data API.

That's correct. This won't happen overnight though.
