Live demonstration

You can see a live demonstration of the module's current functionality right here.
You can follow these steps:

1. View some user profile pages on this website (on the leftside)
2. The profile data from these 3 users is integrated from an external server that is acting like a social networking site's profile data source
3. As in a real life situation where people update their profiles, you can make changes in the data source
4. Return back to the user profiles. Cron runs once a minute, so changes would be visible soon
5. You can see the changes in the user profiles

The OpenSocial Container module depends on the Drupal core Profiles module and needs a cron module like Poormanscron to do Cron tasks (updating to the latest data).

Note: some other visitors may be updating data at the same time as you are.
