What does OpenSocial mean for Google?
As cited above, OpenSocial is part of Google’s quest to increase usage of the Web. More applications can mean more searches and ad searches. You could also expect some new advertising services based on tapping into the OpenSocial APIs that work across all compliant social networks. In addition, Google will weave OpenSocial across its services beyond Orkut, such as iGoogle, and eventually embed the social graph in the Internet fabric for its users.

SNS内にも広告を出したいgoogleにとってクローズの世界のＳＮＳに対しての処方箋がopensocialだったのかもしれません。
