[...] Kevin Yank has posted a Web 2.0 wish list, mainly concerning sharing not just your data items but also your identity and metadata across disparate services. While there are some massive security issues to be worked out, sharing not just the data itself but the data about the data using open, standards-based API’s has to be the way forward.

As chance would have it, I just wrote a post on the need for a customizable RSS dashboard, which would help both public and private users see what’s going on in one’s digital world at a glance.
