Following guidelines described in Chris Chabot's post , I created two libraries - osClassOrkut.js and osClassNing.js.
Few errors were fixed and specific implementations at Orkut and Ning platforms were taken into consideration.
It was possible to use jquery and jcarousel libraries to implement my first OS gadgets http://www.dealoffun.com/opensocial/welcomeorkut10.xml ,
http://www.dealoffun.com/opensocial/welcomening10.xml . It showing welcome message from profile owner and names and pictures of specified number of profile owner's friends. User preferences are not implemented for Ning yet, so it takes first 25 friends. Nice feature from Ning is that it working with Internet Explorer and availble for unsigned viewers. See main page of http://webwidgets.ning.com for demo.
Cheers.

My second OS gadget for Ning available from . It showing profile owner's friends. See http://opensocialdemo.ning.com/profile/jevs for demo. Since links to friends profiles are not available with Ning, it showing only pictures and names. For Orkut there is available another version , where links to profiles are available. This gadget is using jquery and jcarousel libraries (please search Google for more info).
Cheers.
