Microcontent personality disorder

The wired world is slowly absorbing pieces of me. There's the weblog, where I write prose, del.icio.us has my bookmarks, and now Flickr has got my pictures. Never mind the social networking sites. And the feeds, the RSS and Atom feeds. The blog feed, the category feeds, the comment feed. All the del.icio.us feeds. Flickr feeds from friends. Feeds, feeds, feeds. Oh, and don't forget to feedburner your feeds into one mega feed. I have microcontent personality disorder. I won't even start on multiple e-mail, IM, and IRC personality disorder -- I need a whole display just for communications!
Your life would a lot easier if you (and us all) published everything from our weblogs. (http://datalibre.com) , owned all that data himselft and let others aggregate it. Imagine how complicated life will be when we want to move images, bookmarks, etc to a different service or service(s).

I'm hoping to see a unified communication mechanism in the future. Email, IM, blogs/feeds, comments would all appear in one tool.
Posting a comment on a blog or a forum using the browser would import and subscribe to the conversation into that application.
I don't think we'll need to have many online applications that don't integrate with each other. Instead you'll have a personal P2P app on your desktop that will be synched wherever you go and can also manage sharing with friends.
Isn't Chandler something like that?
The only question is whether this will make your life any easier, because you'll be tempted to interact with others and read more feeds ;-)

Steve,
I could do that, but I want the "social" benefits of using a system like Flickr or del.icio.us. The tension between "owning your data" and being able to combine your data with other people's data is growing.

Julien,
The initial version of Chandler is much more desktop focused. I hope that once we get a bit further along, people will start to build functionality like what you are describing. For now, we're just working to get the basics up and runnng.

Totally. The idea of owning you data is that you can give it to more people without the cost of reproducing it for every service. You write once and read it/rehash it everywhere!

I've argued a point similar to Steve's at http://jtauber.com/blog/2004/08/11/aggregation_versus_hosting
I think by separating the notion of hosting from aggregation you can get both the advantages of controlling your own data and the social aspects of aggregation.
