MSFT would benefit more if they only stick to what they know and do best, and leave the Internet search stuff to Google.

AOL and Facebook each bridged the gap between the hi-tech geek internet and the Joe-everyone consumer. I use Facebook and enjoy it, but agree that AOL was rubbish. In terms of quality of product, you are certainly correct. I can't see Open Social working without assisting and incorporating OpenID. It will be best for the whole internet community. How Google will involve itself will be interesting. I have a feeling that soon Google will hide from the project as they'll start getting backlash. This backlash would endanger the whole programme's reputation. It is important the OpenSocial is, indeed, "Open" and not a spin-off of the gEmpire.

They aren't sending out junk mail like every other day, in fact they don't even really advertise, that is the genius behind moguls like google, facebook, and social networking sites. It will be interesting to se where openID and open social go. What do you guys think about myopen id vs. open id? penny for your thoughts. Facebook is the new AOL? hardly.
