The Silicon Valley start-up Vysr has announced a service that will make OpenSocial applications genuinely portable on their product, RoamAbout.

RoamAbout is available for Internet Explorer and FireFox browsers as an extension. Now, users will be able to run social applications of their choice on any website they want and also be connected to the friends’ networks they choose from Orkut and Facebook, and all this without the need to return to any social networking website. This support by Vysr’s RoamAbout for OpenSocial is being seen as a step in the direction of the rising user-focused Web that enables its users to tap on to the application of their choice and carry the social networks they are on along with them, all while interacting with whichever website they want.

CEO of Vysr, Guda Venkatesh said, “As Web applications become increasingly socially aware, users have a need to break out of chains that confine them to a specific website and use these applications anywhere on the Web. We already take our address books anywhere we go, so social networks are just extensions of that paradigm.”

OpenSocial is nothing but a set of usual API’s (Application Programming Interfaces) for applications of social networks that are web based and till now, have been mastered by social networks such as Google, Hi5, MySpace, LinkedIn, Ning and Bebo.
