Coming up on DishyMix is a great discussion with Mark Silva, Managing Director of Real Branding and social media “geekazoid-like-me” about the need to consolidate our social media applications on a “home page” of sorts.

Loic Le Meur did an excellent video showing his “social map” - all the places he goes online every day - and called for the need to consolidate these points into a single place of access. Loic further opined on a quote from Brian Stelter of the NY Times, “If the news is that important it will find me.”

In Web 1.0 we consolidated our news on My Yahoo!. In Web 2.0 iGoogle pages scrape news feeds and aggregate social media applications like Twitter and Facebook.

Now Flock, recommended to me by Mark Silva, is combing a Mozilla-based browser with social media, news, photo streams and one-click blog updates.

Originally I thought I’d try Flock, at Mark’s behest, and keep iGoogle open in it’s browser window, but I see no need for iGoogle now that I’m playing with Flock. So far, Flock seems perfect for Flickr addicts, bloggers and microbloggers as well as social networkers.

There is clearly a need for a “meta-shell” to access our Flickr, FB, LinkedIn, Twitter, Blog, Podcasts, RSS Feeds and more in a one-place customizable interface.

But I want to go further, incorporating and leveraging email connections and address book contacts beyond web mail accounts. I have multiple personal email addresses that aren’t based on Gmail or Yahoo! mail. Integrating mail would make it even better. (If I can trim my database down to 10,000 I could try Plaxo for contact integration…but who would I delete? I love you all!)

What do YOU use to consolidate not just your social touchpoints but your address book and personal email? Leave your ideas and comments here.
