Like Rachel said, the idea of having a single portal to access multiple online networks sounds great for users -- in theory. In reality, trying to standardize these disparate properties will be buggy at best. What is the incentive for sites like MySpace and Facebook to work together with Google, when they're all trying to monetize through ads or sponsored widgets? Would they work out some revenue share model? Sorry. I can't see it happening.
