This sounds like exactly the sort of thing I've been waiting for, although the details are obviously still pretty vague. One of the growing frustrations of internet use these days is the barriers that exist between different services and applications. I want to be able to link things, move things around, and generally customize my web experience (and web presence) the way I want it without having to be bound by the limitations imposed by each service.
There are a few inroads being made already - Facebook allows you to set up data imports from Twitter, Flickr, Blogger, Wordpress etc. (but the amount of customisation is limited); Twitterfeed lets you automatically post to Twitter every time you update your blog (or anything with an RSS feed); Digsby does a very good job of combining all your email and IM accounts as well as Twitter, Facebook etc. into a single desktop app; Flock (the web browser based on Firefox) does an admirable job of pulling together a lot of different web services into one place - although the level of customization is fairly limited and you're stuck with a few pre-defined apps.
