Thanks for the answer, I'm checking it out.

I was thinking of a system where each user has its own object storage and autorize the Social Networks - SN access to it, behind the scenes the SN fetches each user files from different sources and the user can revoke access at any point.

This would require a client front-end, a object storage backend, a SN front-end and back-end.

SNs becomes a place to agregate and search for eachothers data in different ways, how this data is agregated presented ranked etc its the job of each SN, people could peak and choose where they want to present their data. People could make their own unique SN if they feel like it.
