It’s no surprise to anyone that mobile interaction with social information on the Web is on the rise. The real question here is, do our mobile applications need to function in a silo, preventing us from using a standardized profile for our mobile experiences? The simple answer is no.

OpenSocial defines a series of RESTful URIs that allow any application developer to leverage a single social network of friendships, activities, and profile information from the mobile environment.

Mobile interactions with an OpenSocial framework are currently being explored, including the ability to deliver a container environment to the mobile web.
