OpenSocial isn't "a platform that allows profile data to travel between social networking sites", it "provides a common set of APIs for developing social applications across multiple websites". Big difference actually. I would think Mashable would know better since they have written so much about it.

They don't have a case. There's little chance of consumer confusion between the two services, and OpenSN hasn't even attempted to trademark the name of their service. Finally, aside from "open" there's no similarity between the names. The funny thing is that they had first crack at coming up with a name for their service, and they ended up with the more inscrutable moniker.

They do have a knack for getting publicity. And they may even obtain a settlement. But they don't have a case.
