This is a great point, but
* The best platform that unites "all your digital stuff" is the desktop or mobile operating system and its APIs. This is not an answer for collaboration and such necessarily--but I mean the whole point of an OS is to allow people to use lots of different apps together.
* Every time I hear about some fancy new way for apps to "integrate" I think of OpenDoc.
* But, if people really do want everything in the cloud...I think most business are better off just going all-in on Microsoft or Google. A number of the products will be inferior but the integration will be smoother.
