TechCrunch posted a great article today about the future of location based services. The author basically said that in a few years, all the (currently disconnected) location-based services will need to talk w each other.

My idea is that right now we could use a separate service that makes those connections for us.

Other companies are building their own version of this: basically making a bigger silo. An example of this approach is Apple's purchase (and upcoming implementation) of Siri. There will be a battle of the big guys for dominance and locking users into their system - sort of like facebook now.

My wish - is that somehow a separate 3rd party could track all my data, and give me insight / tips / help that the other services can't provide separately. Maybe Diaspora will have something like this...
