The document discusses social networking applications (apps) and compares two platforms for developing apps: Facebook's proprietary platform and Google's open standard called OpenSocial. It notes that while Facebook currently has more users, OpenSocial allows apps to work across different social networks and protects user privacy better. Overall, it argues that no single platform will dominate and that users want control over their data and connections across multiple networks and apps.
