I would imagine that a large player would gain value by implementing the API by further allowing the "network effect" to take effect. That is, the more this data can enhance my experiences across the web, the more incentive I have to enhance that data. That players will compete by how they let me enhance (add on, slice, dice, derive meaning from) all that data. No doubt this will take some time.

First, social networks need to implement the OpenSocial API. Then, once they do that they need to become consumers of that same API from other providers. And even after all that happens the big players need to be convinced that there is value in them implementing the API rather than just consuming it from other small social networks.
