shanko, A container is an application that can run an OpenSocial application.
This does this in two ways: First, the plugin has a generator that implements the REST API in a fairly generic manner. Secondly, the plugin adds some functionality to embed a "container" parameterized with a URL for an OpenSocial App XML. All put together and you get an IFRAME with some javascript that retrieves profile, friendship, activities, and persistent data from your rails application. I'm going to see if I can come up with some examples of real use, which may provide some insight.
