What’s the problem and how to solve it ?

What if I use multiple services and I want to… <ul><li>Merge my social networks between various websites </li></ul><ul><li>Invite my friends from a social media website to a new service I’ve just registered </li></ul><ul><li>Move the stuff I have on one service to another (e.g. move all my blog posts, comments, etc. from WordPress.com to “Acme Blogs”) </li></ul><ul><li>And more: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>See my stuff on a third-party service providing an aggregate view, like FriendFeed, but in an open way </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Archive and preserve my social media contributions </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>… </li></ul></ul>

So many social media sites… * Source: Smashcut Media, www.smashcut-media.com

Even more services…

It takes a lot of time…

Filling out your profiles, re-adding your friends…

Uploading posts and content items to “stovepipes”!
