There's indeed roughly synonymous.

However, IIRC, Dan said in the past that OnlineAccount can be used for things 
like voip, phone, etc.
While in SIOC, we mainly consider Web-related services (however, nothing 
formally prevents the use of sioc:User for a skype account).

I'd personally use sioc:User for Web-based service, and foaf:OnlineAccount for 
other online but not web-based services.
Other opinions ?

Alex.
