Mike has a story this morning about the first OpenSocial application h4ck3d in minutes. He notes, "A developer who goes by the alias “theharmonyguy” and describes himself as “just an amateur” claims to have compromised the RockYou OpenSocial application on Plaxo called emote (see the Plaxo blog for details on the application). Specifically, he claims to have added a number of emoticons to Plaxo VP Marketing John McCrea’s profile within 45 minutes of it launching."

Valleywag also has an interesting post about OpenSocial as a PR scam including, "OpenSocial should really be called OpenWidget. Why? Because app users on one social network still can’t interact with users on another. The "social graph" — or list of friends — of one website won’t connect with others through OpenSocial. This will limit the viral growth of applications as well as their usefulness on smaller networks.". And Marshall wonders if this will really be a huge disappointment.

FYI, I have received 31 emails since the OpenSocial launch asking for my opinion. I am working on my thoughts and will have them posted on Sunday. Side note, not even an official logo to associate with OS? Blech.
