Ultimate Sync Solution Mission Statement

I want my data wherever I am. I want changes I make to my data to be automatically reflected in all of the other places it resides

This is, for me, the "Ultimate Syncing Solution" and I've found it. It allows me to do the following things:

Windows Mobile Nirvana

In a post back in December, I compared Google and Microsoft's offerings for the Web 2.0/mobile phone realm and how they were stacking up for me.. At least two significant things have changed since that ranking. The first was the release of Google's Gdata API for Contacts. While I'm excited about it's potential, it still has very few any real products using it and the one that I tried (which I like for Google Calendar sync), I was less than impressed.

Coming back to Facebook

No, I'm not actually going back to Facebook yet and yes I did actually "deactivate" my account with them. As far as I know I should be "unreachable" in Facebook (someone tell me if I'm a wrong). Rather this post outlines what I wish I could see in Facebook (and other social networks) to help remedy the problem I described earlier.

Leaving Facebook

I'm member of many different social networks (Classroom 2.0 on Ning, LinkedIN, Twitter, Facebook, and other communities like Drupal.org and Moodle.org among others). Social networks, like other mediums of media, are successful that more people view or participate in them. In large part they are judged successful by how capable they are of connecting you with people or things that you are interested in. Likewise, they tend to fail when they are unable to help you make those connections.
