This is an interesting concept. The idea that profiles can be independant of sites like Myspace and Facebook, an open standards based platform that lets you take your entire social network with you off of those sites and wherever you like. It suggests a kind of revolutionary restructuring of information on the web.

From Dave Winer:

Eventually, soon I think, we’ll see an explosive unbundling of the services that make up social networks. What was centralized in the form of Facebook, Linked-in, even YouTube, is going to blow up and reconstitute itself. How exactly it will happen is something the historians can argue about 25 years from now. It hasn’t happened yet, but it will, unless the rules of technology evolution have been repealed (and they haven’t, trust me).
