Loving my N800...still miss PIM

It's been a month or so that I've had my upgraded
N800 and I must say that it sees a lot of use
throughout the day.
It has become the de-facto e-mail client for my .Mac account.
It has replaced my laptop as the instrument with which I browse the internet on my sofa.
It's great for Last.fm
This weekend I saw that the GPE PIM has been updated to work with ITOS2008...but unfortunately it still does not scratch my PIM itch.
Nokia can't you integrate PIM functionality that is SyncML (iSync) compatible? please?

How many socials????? (part 1)
03/February/2008 09:21 Filed in: Technology
I used to have a friendster account, my first social
network. I had about ten friends and after a few
years a closed my account because I never went there
and didn’t feel like hassling my friends who were
already on facebook, myspace, orkut, or any of the
other social networks to join Friendster. I joined
other social networks, where most of my friends were,
and I created a ‘ring’. I use linkedIn for my
professional social profile, and I use facebook for
my general social profile. Because I have friends on
Hi5 and MySpace I decided to join those two as well
and provide links to the my two main social profiles
so that I don’t have to repeat information. My
cardinal rule: Try the service, if you have less than
30 friends after a year – quit the service.
Now I get invites to other social networks, but why bother (other than geeky curiosity of course)? I will just have to re-invite all my friends from other networks, or search for new ones on the ‘new’ service, and then I will just put a pointer to my facebook and linkedIn accounts. What we need is a mesh service that allows us to join as many social network sites we want, manage our info from one central location, and not have to go to ten different sites! It would also be nice if our friends from one social network can connect with our friends from other social networks without the need to join that competing social.
I hope the DataPortability thing catches on…
