Agree completely. It would be possible to abstract away all of these services into a common dialect (so that grouping and filtering works across multiple services) and then let the user "build" different UX approaches by allowing one to group and filter different sources into specific view: ex, group tweets and irc messages and have that group display only some UI stuff, group rss/fb posts and have the UI display some other stuff.
