<<The short version: Google will announce a new set of APIs on November 5 that will allow developers to leverage Google’s social graph data. They’ll start with Orkut and iGoogle (Google’s personalized home page), and expand from there to include Gmail, Google Talk and other Google services over time.>>

Orkut!!! Yes! Some cool 3rd party apps!
Gmail!!! Calendr Integration!!!

Well don't hold your breath. We all know how quickly presentations came out. Besides which, Google could also possibly pull a GDrive and just keep teasing us for the next decade or two.

I am just hoping that with the API, and some interconnection, that my Gmail and GrandCentral contacts can become the last addressbook I ever need to synchronize particularly if they are allowing 3rd party apps to connect to it. Bonus is if this pulls more people into Orkut.
