Poll: would you pay for a virtual filesystem to your social data?

Indeed, to the "cool" and also "show a need". I'm currently looking for the "need".

Take for example, Flick, Picasa and similar. At first it doesn't seem a use case because there are already dozens of online, offline and hybrid applications to manage those collections. But when you add "web interoperability" to it, as in, copy/pasting/moving from into/out of those and into other webapps (copying some pictures from Flick into Posterous, directly) it starts to sound a lot more exciting and worth exploring, which is where i'm at at the moment.

My "need" for something like this would be so I could have an effortless way to keep backups of all of my social network data. In fact, ideally this product would be integrated into Dropbox, since that's already part of my backup "strategy".

I would pay money for this. In fact, I'd be willing to pay money now, up front, for a proof-of-concept.

For backups you have

www.backupify.com

which is not mine, but you can send me 20$ for helping you solve that problem :)

This is cool, but not as elegant as what you described. Where do I send the money?
