Yup, I found that too. Guess where I found it?

Google to "out open"
facebook on November 5
“Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot!” Hard to tell at this point whether this means that on the day itself
someone will ...

The link at techcrunch won't open properly for me, but google --Google to "out open" facebook on November 5 -- brings up enough articles to give
you the idea.
Google is about to unleash a monster of an online application that will allow parties to both push and pull data, into and out of Google and
non-Google applications. Its facebook on steroids. Its Guy Fawkes rebellion for freedom on steroids. Its --- Digital Dynamite!
And since you already have "your mask", that probably means that your ATS profile will be incorporated with the new global google app.
Its a
revolution giving you, ATS, and everyone on earth the ability to interact. Finally, a voice! Your Voice.
And it appears ATS stands on the cutting egde, already primed.
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.
On November 5 we’ll likely see third party iGoogle gadgets that leverage Orkut’s social graph information - the most basic implementation of what
Google is planning. From there we may see a lot more - such as the ability to pull Orkut data outside of Google and into third party applications via
the APIs. And Google is also considering allowing third parties to join the party at the other end of the platform - meaning other social
networks (think Bebo, Friendster, Twitter, Digg and thousands of others) to give access to their user data to developers through those same APIs.
Just a guess
