sixapart.com— At Six Apart, we'll be supporting the new OpenSocial initiative to make an open platform for social applications on the web. But for us, it's not about Google or Facebook. It's about the web itself.

i think people are joining fb in large part because of all the fun they have with the apps now available. at least a lot of the non tech people i know.
The most important goal will be to get all the great social services such as del.icio.us, flickr, last.fm etc...to support a single open platform where we can easily post and retrieve data using the same framework...but 2 of those services I mentioned above are owned by Yahoo, so with Google or another behemoth controlling the platform I don't see this happening which is a bummer. For me, leveraging this platform to take Lifestreaming (see <a class="user" href="http://lifestreamblog.com)">http://lifestreamblog.com)</a> to the next level will be the killer app.

good idea.. get out of the way. Without a mass of users over a period of time, NONE of these big company's succeed.
