@Todd, Subbu, and Max, context is an important point and it will be interesting to see how very different social networks add controls that retain this context. LinkedIn and MySpace are examples of two very different social networks where ignoring context will result in some very bizarre module behaviors. It’ll be a UI challenge to say the least!

Hi, I can provide some background on this. OAuth will become the preferred auth mechanism for the REST version of OpenSocial, so that’s good news.

As far as mapping goes, I’m guessing that flixter maps mysql users into it’s own internal map. What might be interesting is if you could use the same flixter data in multiple containers. With the right tooling, I believe it’s possible.
