Given the Last.FM debacle and seeing Twitter disabling cruical features, on the other hand WordPress allowing users to have an account at either wordpress.com or at any other wordpress site and still be able to maintain a unique identity across all those servers, and identi.ca mimicking this model, I wonder whether the future of social networks might be here: in federated servers offering user accounts allowing to maintain their unique identity across the whole federation.
That way, at least, no single entity will be able to grab personal data of the whole net and abuse it, like CBS/last.fm apparently did.
