So, the source is open, if that helps... or, at least was, and will be again. I closed it down temporarily while I separate the 'Personable.com' source from the 'Personable' source, but soon, you'd be able to clone the repo and stand up your own instance of it and host the data yourself, if you preferred. Interact looks neat, but I suppose that this has a slightly different objective. To me, for Personable, the aim is that the API interacts with other services you use. Perhaps for the purpose of making your life easier (e.g., enter a personal API endpoint instead of having to fill out a profile, and let the website read in the data you let them access), perhaps for making the lives of others easier (e.g., your friends want to know where you're at, but don't want to check Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter to see which checkin is the most current), but all of that interaction depends on at least some of that data being net-accessible. I haven't gotten into what should be public vs. what should be private yet, so, thus far, the advice for Personable is to just treat it like you should treat every other cloud service, and not put anything there you wouldn't want the world to read, but privacy options are forthcoming as well.
