Comment on diary.io - should we build this?

1. There are already services to "backup" your socially posted content http://jolicloud.com http://socialfolders.me/

2. Cross posting to multiple services is really, really hard. Each service has a different number of fields. You would have to get the user to complete the full information for each service in one go. Technically you could map all these fields, but from a UX point of view it's really hard.

3. Most services cross post between other services already. At least in a way that matters to most. And there are various ways that are "good enough"

Having said that, yes there is a demand for this. I've heard it direct from my customers. I actually work the other way in that I aggregate what you already post socially.

But I would look very hard at the financial side on this, I'm not sure you'll make enough money to warrant the effort.
