"Hmm...I hear what you're saying (I came here from G+ rather than Facebook, but that's just substituting one Goliath for another). That being said, I think there's a goodness to you posting here vs. in whatever walled garden (a goodness I haven't done a good job of emulating myself recently...I need to get on it!). You "own" this...if myspace/friendster/facebook/tumbler/friendfeed disappears, your postings there go with it. I think there's something important there. That being said, Anil hits on it when he points out we shouldn't war amongst ourselves re: Wordpress v. Movable Type v. Drupal v. etc...just be happen you're out of the walled garden!! Encourage the wild growth...we need it." - Ken Kennedy

Some interesting tools in this same sort of "personal cloud" space, specializing in getting data out of non-machine readable formats (poor web layouts, PDFs, etc.), into databases, and providing visualization capabilities. Looked like something you'd be interested in." - Ken Kennedy
