[sharongreenfield@xxxxxxxxx]

Well it was interesting...you got me thinking and I dredged up a page  
about people who are building apps for social networking sites.
Which then led me to this page:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/pressrel/opensocial.html

The long and the short of it is, that Google has created something  
called OpenSocial and gotten commitments from various social networks  
(myspace, orkut, linked-in,etc.)
Open Social basically is "gives developers of social applications a  
single set of APIs to learn for their applications to run on any  
OpenSocial-enabled website"

So instead of having dozens of unique API's to have to figure out and  
code from for each application, to build the same widget for each  
different social networking site, there will just be one set.

Interesting thought and idea by Google, I'm actually impressed by  
their intent for streamlining and efficiency.

Anyways, here is a list of some developer folks that did QA on the  
OpenSocial API's - within this list has got to be someone who might  
be able to help you:
