Our tools are very powerful. It's almost like they're too powerful. If you give people this huge beautiful blank canvas, where do they start?

Conceptually, I kind of like their point of view, but it doesn't seem useful to me. Then, I don't have a MySpace profile either.

Imeem has replicated, it appears, the functionality of Blogger, Flickr, a few other web services and, of course, IM. They apparently use a custom IM application to connect with the various IM services, which is going to mean getting people to switch from iChat, AIM, Trillian, etc. That may be the most challenging thing for them.

I'm skeptical of convergence as a rule, but perhaps it will appeal to people who'd rather not have to manage multiple logins and so forth, I don't know. To me, it seems like trying to be everything is a good way to do a lot of things poorly.
