Totally agree … convo on a TechCrunch post yesterday in similar vein: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/05/23/free-to-us...

Some services will be for pay, certainly, but one that will or should not is a profile hosting service! An online identity via Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple(if they can pull head out of mobileme) only makes sense.

Isn't this really the evolution of email addresses? Any email provider ought to provide hooks, those that don't (some cable oriented ISPs I can imagine would not muster the strength) will eventually get left for free email sites that do.

A profile would be an aggregation point for one's digital activity stream … links to any service which provides linkable identities.

@Barbara – not necessarily all of us, but for the people who provide the tools? Definitely. Most definitely. For me as a marketer, it depends on the setting. Sometimes I need all the data. Other times, I don’t and just want the conversation. But for Google and Facebook? It’s ALL about the data. Feeling otherwise is rosy glasses all around.

“Instead of Facebook Connect… I think someone will soon create a “universal profile.”

Is that not what Google is doing with Open Social?
