First problem I can see is a user that has only a myspace account or an orkut account. How are you going to show a profile for each when they don't exist? Second issue is the idea of open social being hosted by a third party non-open social platform. OpenSocial is a universal API to retrieve information about any given account. My understanding of this is that you can create web based client applications "gadgets" that will work inside the containing platform (hi5, orkut). I very well could be wrong about this but it seems hard to believe that they would allow access such that a third party site could syndicate the user's profile, thus averting the user from said platform's advertisements and chief revenue source.
