I think this goes beyond MyProfile. OpenSocial is more about
relationships between containers that provide a notion of identity. The
system was developed for MySpace/Facebook style relationships but it
could have major implications for exchanging corporate role information
between companies.
From the MyPortal perspective, GoogleGadgets is more what you are
interested in. These could also have a larger implication from a widget
API point of view. It might be useful to have insertion points for
micro-portlets in any screen in the system.
