> My call history is with my telco, my location history is with Google (and probably many others), my conversations are spread out among so many different apps. What happens when I want to query the data about me though?
That's a real problem right now. I asked that question in almost the same terms many times when I worked for Urbit [0]. I no longer work for them, but they still seem to have the best long term solution to giving you access to all your own data (specifically by putting that data on your own server to begin with).
Personal storage servers would be awesome if they got popular. I'll check urbit out. They would need a really flexible api for apps to hook into. If that happened though, I'd be stoked to sign up for an application and instead of choosing an authentication provider you chose a backend.
I really like your approach of parsing the natural language to create log events. Going the other way, from data to descriptions could be really cool too. Finishing grad school is taking up my free time for the next few months, but maybe we could come together on these ideas later on.
