I agree.

I am reminded of a few trust/social search sites that can be integrated:

http://prefound.com/ - search what other people have already found
http://trexy.com/ - creating 'search trails' to share and save
http://lijit.com/ - search via another person's soc-net data
(and then there's chacha and mahalo etc, where people filter for you)

But this is all client-side stuff that can come much later.

If you haven't yet, I suggest we all read Brad's thoughts on soc-graphs.

-- the dataportability.org website might be a step towards a solution :)

Happy hacking,
