Alas, Yahoo has not. Microsoft has implemented the PoCo schema, but not yet with OAuth for delegated auth.

I have only been able to find support by Google, Plaxo, and MySpace.

I see Microsoft making moves on the Open Stack. They’ve become an OpenID provider. I believe they will support OAuth. And they have been involved in the Portable Contacts initiative every step along the way. Also, at Le Web, an exec was asked about OpenSocial, and the answer was something along the lines of “we’re looking at it”. I have *no* inside information on this one, but I thought it was an interesting “long shot” prediction to put out there. Plus, with Microsoft entering the social networking space, they are essentially competing with Facebook. So, this will be interesting to see what happens!

Regarding Prediction 4: Why do you think that Microsoft’s “Windows Live” social network will become an OpenSocial container when all the signs seems to predict the opposite:

1. Microsoft exec trashes Google’s OpenSocial
2. Microsoft Gives OpenSocial the Cold Shoulder;
3. Google/OpenSocial vs. Microsoft/Facebook
