I think this goes beyond MyProfile. OpenSocial is more about relationships between containers that provide a notion of identity. The system was developed for MySpace/Facebook style relationships but it could have major implications for exchanging corporate role information between companies. >From the MyPortal perspective, GoogleGadgets is more what you are interested in. These could also have a larger implication from a widget API point of view. It might be useful to have insertion points for micro-portlets in any screen in the system.
