So my I will need to "find" my friends in the new network (and thats part of the calculation). But all in all, Facebook is here to stay. Unlike Twitter who's days are numbered.

Good thinking :) I personally use much more my Google account than facebook connect. This has to do with Google providing *many* useful services, not just social network (the only thing they lack). Now, about calculating the cost to moving to another provider: you calculation is flawed, my friend. You suppose that migration is a one way street in which the only thing you have to do, is move yourself. But what about your friends? How exactly are they gonna follow you to your new provider? Facebook doesn't support OpenSocial, and is not going to. So while you may move to another provider, your friends will stay behind. And how expensive is that? :) I liked the inviting post title.
