Hey, great minds think alike. It's truly a compliment and kind of nice to have TBL on your side!


My idea was that you should manage your own data, and have them tagged with the rights to broadcast or syndicate.

The gist of it would be:

If I write something as a tweet, wordpress would be the first to pick it up and possibly manage it. WP would be more of a CMS for your data. Write a tweet, it can be shown on your blog, and possibly to twitter and/or facebook. This would work for other content types. The value of twitter and fb is the network affect and curration.


I've recently become niggled by a very similar idea of a personal data store with a layer for managing rights of broadcast and syndication.

A simple example is that I would want any food delivery app, or web-connected restaurant to know my dietary data instantly, but not really much else. Any new-media site I connect to I want to instantly know what kind of content I find boring or distracting, but not really anything else.
