A comment on Poll: would you pay for a virtual filesystem to your social data?.

My gut reaction is that this sounds like something I don't have a pressing need for. So the real answer is, you'd have to come up with a really compelling story for why this would improve my life and then build a slick implementation to match. I'm definitely not sold by this quick description/bullet points.

I'm not even quite sure what you're suggesting. Is this mainly a picture cross-sharing implementation? (Or are you thinking more broadly about social data? If so, how would status posts/tweets be handled... as files?)

Not data as e-mails, twitter posts, but i'm targeting media files, as in:

- facebook albums - twitpic, instagram, picsplz pictures

any web application which has an API and allows red/write capabilities through it.
