(And please don't say Orkut and 51 are irrelevant, too. Do the research and check the numbers first.)

Chris, this is something along the lines of what I was thinking. Nokia has done a lovely job of integrating things with IM in the main OS so as a Dev I would think it sensible to simply extend the width on this for other environments. Telepathy has done this for IM and VOIP so maybe it's time to sort out the generic functionality for all social network interactions and make facebook/myspace/tumblr simply another protocol choice. I'm sure people use multiple sites so why not just tag contacts the same as you would email providers or telephony provider.

Thoughts from OP please?

If this is what people want then raise the Brainstorm so things can get started. If you want the solution the start the ball rolling by creating the brainstorm.
