Hey guys! Thanks for checking out my little project.

Some background info: I was reflecting the other day on just how proprietary
our online information seems. Maybe not proprietary, but definitely
disjointed. We go to Twitter for social blurbs and trends, we go to Facebook
to see our friends, Pinterest to see our interests, Github to see our code,
etc etc.

I thought there was a big gap in getting access control to this information
and that there are extremely powerful ways we can leverage all of this
information. This essentially bootstraps the entire process of going through
each social network's API and puts it in your hands. I think some interesting
interfaces could come out of such an idea, although I'm not sure how well my
implementation has allowed for that.

All in all, please give your feedback. I want to know areas where this is
lacking, where you might see hidden opportunities - any reflection is
appreciated!

 Hey guys! Thanks for checking out my short project. 

 Some background information: I was reflecting the other sidereal day on just how proprietary 
 our on-line data seems. Maybe not proprietary, but definitely
