The real “killer app” of 2008 would be a place to store your personal data along with social connections. That way every service or application could fetch your info (upon getting permission from you), and apply that within the application. This could be your mobile phone, your IM-client of choice, your “email-client” (which wouldn’t have to disclose your email-adress=the end of spam as we know it) or any kind of social networking service.
Your info would all be segmented in order of intimacy or other parameters, meaning your spouse might be the only one with access to your bathing suit pics, and recruiters might get your polished presentation. Permissions could be set on all levels, all the way down to personal permissions (in which case that could replace email). Since phones would also be compatible with this OpenSocial-adress-permissions-book, any set of permissions could also be used for calls. I guess that would put an end to the 5-in-the-morning desperate call to your ex.
