I only know about XFN et al because of WordPress. Maybe we should all be checking the source code on each site we visit from now on?! I'd be interesting in hearing what the Data Portability guys have to say about Social Graph API. I was actually expecting them to make an announcement along these lines. It's funny though, the only 'Social Graph API' which would actually hold much value for me would be an official Facebook Social Graph API, because that's where everyone is!

I took O'Reilly's view when OpenSocial came out and didn't understand the wide coverage by all the news sites. But maybe I should give Google the benefit of the doubt with the Social Graph API. Although, as you noted, it smacks more of "we want a part of this" than of actual internet altruism. Guess we'll see...
