Open Social Networks (OSN)

- isn't specific to a particular model, the way 'graph' is, but still
sufficiently precise
- allows for a variety of protocols, as will probably be the case
- suggests that there's not necessarily one big MOASN (Mother of All
Social Networks)
- includes the 'open'
- leaves room for OSNP (OSN protocols), OSNS (OSN Software) etc

While I'm writing, this seems like a good time to suggest revisiting the
'Semantic Social Network' (SSN)

Which gives us OSSN (Open Semantic Social Network), which is where we
want to get in the end.
