Any time I think about the future of social services I think about the proliferation of these types of programs and then to my own automatic agents in huginn and how much nicer they make it to consume kijiji/facebook/and, bes of all, twitter. Give one of these a shot, and huginn is really nice once you get past ruby setup (unpleasant in my experience). Eventually everyone will consume their social media through garbage sieves like these.

The goal of that kind of tool is not to be the future of social network but to provide data that can be consummed without any effort. There are plenty of tools that provide data that are absolutly not related to any social network like weather service, movie store , and so on. For example http://weboob.org/. And i made this one because i like Python and launching challenge to myself. I just provide this project in case someone find it usefull for himself too. Nothing more.

I'm not suggesting you were, but these 'apps' work well at consuming the services of walled gardens without having to be within the walls. I use Huginn as a butler for information in twitter, forums, etc. Facebook has been a tough nut to crack though.
