Thanks for replying. yea you certainly help in my understanding.
What do you mean by - "The data storage of each application and user- related data is up to the app developer." I assume that we CAN'T fetch data in an app installed on Orkut from other OpenSocial Application Publishers like MySpace AND Ning AND Hi5 etc. OpenSocial API is restricted to a single container. But in terms of development, it eases the developer workload as it allows "learn once, write once, deploy all".
