Hi Teun (and Esther),
This sounds much like the old .. identity crisis problem.
When I was at GE we spend several years on this with a project that we named "Single Sign On". And while GE has 100's of millions of customers via what ever roll the play at what ever particular moment ... by far more than ANY organization in the world this surely became an interesting project!

Who are you anyway? ... Watch this fantastic video and brilliant presentation style and perhaps join there team to solve this puzzle.

i just done see the business side of this one

I agree that this is a huge problem. If a solution could be created the idea could do well...however I remain skeptical here is why:

There would be a lot of resistance from the social networking sites. If large groups of people don't visit the site to update profiles the traffic goes down. This would be enough incentive to make this task very problematic. Think of the vast array of bugs they could throw in the system.

Neat idea but I am not too confident in it.

I think services like 8hands is going to be the closest we get to 'aggregating' the social networking sites. There are simply too many networks to cover, with each network focusing on different pieces of personal information to begin with.

is another one for the more technically savvy
-word of caution- it might not be wise to share usernames and passwords even if it can automate the sign in process...
