Sad but true.
There was actually discussions going on between Marvel and Sony to include the Oscorp Building into the New York skyline for the Avengers. Unfortunately the design for the building that appeared in Amazing Spider-Man wasn't finished in time to be included in the Avengers.
BUT - Sony and Disney were going to let this happen. Timing just didn't work out. So we could see some small nods to the Spider-man universe in future Marvel Studio films and vice-versa. Will the actual characters cross over? No, not a chance. But it seems that easter eggs are not out of the question between the two studios.
