I hope we'll see something soon b/c unlike you, I am not able to devote 1,440 attentive minutes every day. There will be movement here eventually, an uber-site (like Pidgin for IM clients) that forces convergence, allowing you to be "online you" in any network and unifying all your contacts into a single place (and in the darkness bind them). Nice post. Jake Hard to believe this hasn’t already been done, or at least attempted. I hope we’ll see something soon b/c unlike you, I am not able to devote 1,440 attentive minutes every day.

Nice post.

There are a few good open meta identity standards out there but it is not clear any of the big guys will bite. The best hope is that the newbie sites accept OpenID or similar and that eventually tips the big guys one day. Till then "Single Sign On" for every site.

I'd really like to be able to log-in with one user account (say LinkedIN) and be able to view and interact with all my other social networking apps. I don't think I've seen an API that lets me manipulate an account with out validating the ID. Yet, I can update Twitter on my phone or post to my blog over email. These methods don't require the username & password for validation. So, if I could do this securely without storing tens of user IDs - we'd be on to something. If not I think we're looking at an Adium-type app. Glad to know I’m not the only one thinking about this.

In other words, they multiply like rabbits...
