When one or more of the services undergoes a big system upgrade or update and all of a sudden you've got to go and literally 'disconnect' and then 'reconnect' the services to each other through that virtual 'handshaking' that they all do in order to get things running smoothly again!
There should be some kind of notification system from the Internet System 'bots' that sends you an email that says "FYI: Hey! Your Twitter updates are no longer posting to your Facebook profile stream!" I mean, that wouldn't be The Solution, but it would sure as hell help the situation.
In this day of 'Post Once = Letting All Your Friends and Family Know' needs to be more solid!! Perhaps we shouldn't be so dependent on the stability of these services and the Internet? But what 'should be' and 'what is' happening are sometimes vastly different, and the point is mute anyhow. All you have to do is wake up and look around to see that our lives have this ever growing parallel digital aspect to them. Will that lessen as time goes along? NO, it will only increase in interconnectedness. That answer is obvious in it's resounding clarity. So what's the upshot??
To pull it together to make the 'SuperNet'--a highly functioning, polished, smart, privacy-savvy, ultra-customizable, Always Fast, Always Reliable, Digital Lifeform and Instantaneous Information Highway with nodes of connection embedded in all of our activities for activating whenever we so choose, whenever and wherever we are. "Don't we already have that?", you might ask. Nope, not really. What we have is hit or miss. It'd be nice if the system were self-healing and self-correcting: a SmartNet.
*I know that the above is sci-fi interweb balderdash, but seriously, we need to make the system much better than it is. I know this all takes time, effort, money, talent, and insight, all of which are governed by some cosmic law of allowed-rate evolution of species or some such, but still, some things are simply 'no-brainers'. How hard would it be to put system 'bots' in place to monitor current Internet connection threads (that were made/authorized by you) that would send you a notification email when one of the threads were broken telling you when, where, and nature of disconnection? It seems like a small thing that could make a huge difference.
