You can define things like this using s-expressions: (let mytwitter (twitter "databigbang")
Then you can do (twitterdb store (twitter.tweets)) and for every tweet your defines db is updated. Then imagine that your user is called "wslh" you can share your whole db via egont.users.wslh.twitterdb.
Building a service like IFTTT is trivial with this engine, you can also add processing rules to this stuff and share the whole data. For example, if every friend "connects" this service with their IMDB Movies Ranking, you can send all this information to a recommendation engine or just do an average of the scores between all your friends. When a friend adds a new movies everything is recalculated like in a spreadsheet.
Another use is sharing summarized information within a specific market. Imagine you work on selling ruby on rails services, you and others in your market can connect their google analytics information to Egont and provide summarized information for this specific market that helps other to take decisions based on it. You can also restrict how the information is distributed.
