story of a guy I met who actually signed up on MySpace so that his daughter would receive his messages. In the comments Cori Schlegel made the seemingly innocuous suggestion that we need a messaging proxy. Send a message to the proxy, and you get it on all of your devices or services that talk to your proxy. This is a great idea! And the more that I thought about it, the more I realized that it is a perfect extension of an idea

This is a excellent idea! I've had this issues so often since I barely check the myspace account that I have , but all my friends use theirs constantly. The major issue ive had with myspace is accessing it from work I have to use sites like proxy help just to login and thats such a pain to do.

Really likely that this is the future of the personalized aspect of the social web. You become your domain. I guess it’s just who comes up with the best way to place all the right features in an usable way to get people going. Could be a hosting service with some vision, probably the easiest way.

[...] A Messaging Proxy and Domain as Identity So yesterday we were talking about the problem that people in social networks have: when you’re active in social networks you are less active outside of them. You become immersed in them, so that when you’re in MySpace the people outside of MySpace get less of your Attention. If all of your friends are in MySpace, then that’s where you hang out. I told the story of a guy I met who actually signed up on MySpace so that his daughter would receive his messages. In the comments Cori Schlegel made the seemingly innocuous suggestion that we need a messaging proxy. Send a message to the proxy, and you get it on all of your devices or services that talk to your proxy. This is a great idea! And the more that I thought about it, the more I realized that it is a perfect extension of an idea that I wrote about last year: domain as identity. (a post which, coincidentally enough, Cori commented on). Here’s how it would work, as far as I understand it… [...]

Hi! newbie here!

Interesting post. I think that the proxy idea is a natural consequence of the growing of messaging channels in the online-life. I think it’s something that happened to everyone of those who were wandering through free webmail accounts, until eventually stopped at GMail… like me…

I think Google is doing something cool with the GMail for Domains program (and for this matter it would be GMail for your identity). It may help to address the problem of “giving the wrong domain power over the account” as you pointed out.

I think technology like RSS and XML is beginning to create this trend. Right now I use google to bring together my web site feeds, email, and bookmarks.

Myspace has gained much of its popularity because of the widgets created around it that people can add to their page. It is very convenient because you can have a large number of information sources available all in one place.
