On duty, we needed to integrate with a variety of social networks. And then I understood why Facebook managed to push the giants that way. Google just slows down with social networks.
Alexa reports traffic for Orkut, MySpace and Facebook networks:
It would seem a great idea - to unite all networks under one API:
OpenSocial . I tried to register in February, the sandbox in Orkut didn't give me anymore, and no one supported the OS anymore /
at the same time I wrote the first widget for Facebook /. He returned in June - and saw that almost nothing had changed. Documentation has become more, yes, formally MySpace began to support OpenSocial ... But some of its own :) And from your sandbox in Orkut it became possible to access your sandbox /
from Facebook .
So, it seems, Google has marked the territory, but he never completed anything. All the forces rush to Google Apps.

Maybe someone managed to solve the problem of “programmatically sending a message to friends in social networks,” not from the widget on the site itself? Does anyone have any other experience integrating with OpenSocial?
