I couldn't help but think so this is how they're going to merge. I'm only joking, of course. On one hand it has the potential to give users more control...
But making it so that all the data is in a standardized format could also make Facegoogtwitsoft easier to realize. That's not to say giving us our data is a bad thing, just that I wonder if someone somewhere wanted to implement this for a more nefarious reason.
