There's a fairly valid argument saying that if Facebook can't beat the Open Social alliance it may as well join it, but I can't help thinking this has a whiff of defeat about doing it. Most people would agree that Open Social was launched in direct competition to what Facebook did in the first place - so who is the victor and who is the defeated foe now? With the experience that Facebook have gained thus far in understanding the vast amounts of data that their closed data has no doubt given them, I think they have the ability to become THE dominant figure in the alliane, not Google. (god, did that sound like Star wars or what??!) Good post Paul (as bloody almost always!).
