Hosts are the social networks participating, and include Orkut, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Ning, Hi5, Plaxo, Friendster, Viadeo and Oracle. Developers thus far are Flixster, iLike, RockYou and Slide.
Basically, OpenSocial will be Google's new social networking site that will serve as a portal to many other social networking communities.
