How marked up would your shirt be? (bonus points for being early enough of an adopter to get your preferred username)

After toying around with the few OpenSocial APIs that are out already, I ran across this piece which really underscored how much we need a way to slide horizontally across net properties. Even spookier is how many additional sites of the same ilk I routinely use that didn't many the artist's cut. Our current approach of forcing users to freshly join each new community that pops up is not going to work for much longer.

OpenID has been a great start, but Google's recent moves look even more promising in terms of forming that common framework that web apps as a whole desperately need. I for one can't wait until more of the big networks, that have signed onto the program, start to show their hands a little, and this shirt can be culled down to a single checkbox.
