thanks for your input. i've started speaking with a few social media professionals about this.

A different way to think of it is a meta-network perhaps - so it wouldn't be just about aggregate stats concerning your posts but more like an overlying network and profile that is fed by the person's existing accounts. An activity feed of posts from people across all of your social graphs along with an additional follow model to help lower the noise of posts you dont care about.

consider the chance to use niche networks without the identity fragmentation that comes with it. an example is that i use Instagram to post photos but my grandmother, who would love to see what i'm up to, doesn't have an Instagram account or even know what it is so she is missing out on a major part of my life. With showw.me i get to use (and change) as many services as i want but i can still give out one page that i know will always display what i'm up to.
