An end could be in sight for people wrestling with the challenges of maintaining their expanding number of social media profiles. Spacelift is the latest launch among apps offering a way of feeding data into and between personal profiles. This one helps you move MySpace profile data across to Facebook. This has been a massive weakness in social networking since the start: people don’t have enough time to maintain their profiles and if you’re not able to take part in a community then you have to question whether you should be there. Spacelift et al could prove a massive catalyst in preventing established social networks from withering.
A great example of Spacelift in Mashable | Create a MySpace account | See who you know on Facebook | Can we have cross platform avatars please?
Defintely a useful app - but chew on this:

Facebook’s decision to keep a tight grip on its form, while letting users experiment with its functions, is a formula that forces users to focus less on the appearance of their profile pages and think more about collaborative opportunities.
If you’re a social networking site, that’s what you want: for users to interact with one another on your platform. This keeps them coming back.
