尚不去深究，到底脸书会不会加入 OpenSocial。但是所有热心用户不会甘于面对分立的阵营，已经由 Dan Lester 开发出了一个脸书的腐败工具 OpenSocket，可将 OpenSocial Gadget 方便应用到脸书。界面很简单，输入 OpenSocial Gadget 的 URL 地址即可方便调用。

特性包括：

- 可调用任何 HTML 式样的 OpenSocial Gadget；
- 自动且稳定的保存 OpenSocial Gadget 设置数据；
- 自动跟踪 OpenSocial 平台与其中的 Gadget 的升级；
- 完全支持自定义，以及喜好设置。

但是，OpenSocket 也不是完美的中间人，其使用限制包括：

- Gadgets run only in canvas view - there is no profile display; thus VIEWER=OWNER always
- People requests limited to first 20 results (that's more friends than you have in Orkut, anyway…)
- Sending a batch of more than 3 or 4 requests at once may fail because it uses the URL (limited to 2k) to send request data; I could split these into multiple requests but prefer to translate to POST data as soon as possible
- No Activities feeds supported
- Persistance settings are not implemented efficiently: please don't overuse, and be aware that I might clear old data in order to maintain performance (this is a novel scaling solution…)
- People Collections do not yet support iteration and array-like properties
- User Preferences will not be maintained for a gadget between sessions
- Locale will generally just default to, err… the default.
