There are two things here which overlap but have different amounts of work. I want to avoid designing a system which is so generic that it becomes unusable in the "normal" cases (see some of the problems with Mauku 2.0, for example).

So, is it:

I want to be able to write a plugin for an arbitrary website (e.g. work Intranet) which has both UI and service components.
I want Blip, LinkedIn, ... support.

Now, #2 may be easiest to implement (if there are many services) with a nice generic framework internally; but it might not.
