Last June a spin-off department of Red Hat, lead by desktop guru Havoc Pennington, announced Mugshot. Originally, Mugshot was in the midst of controversy whether it's a social networking application or not. Apparently, it instead is a "social networking aggregator". In order for this to work, access to third party data is a must.

All your login info in one spot feels a bit "icky" to me too.
As it has already been stated, mugshot does not require passwords for accounts. Mugshot seems to take advantage of built in APIs provided by some of the sites, including rss feeds, while it may also employ some screen scraping. I can't really tell though because I don't even have an account with half of the communities that mugshot supports.

I'm really do not agree with your statement about PHP, but I do think you have a valid point.

I guess it's too much like putting all of your eggs in one basket.
