Web 2.0 v2: Flickr & Youtube

So now I have a Facebook Page, a Blogger Blog, Flickr Photostream and a Youtube Channel.

(lol)

Why?

Facebook's a great social networking and microblogging site, but content posted there isn't available to the outside world (family and luddites that don't want or care about Facebook) unless you sign up for an account.
Blogger is available to everyone and has passable photo and movie storage support, but doesn't allow deep-linking of those resources, and requires people sign up for a Google account to comment.
Flickr is fantastic for photos and allows for deep linking of resources, ok for short movie clips, has impressive group membership and relation features but doesn't act as a blog so it requires you use something else to link to it, unless you have people... sign up for a Yahoo account and subscribe to your photo stream.
Youtube is movies only, and while I cringe at its quality (even the "hd" streams are crappy), it's #1, fast, has a huge audience, allows embedding of resources, but has only rudimentary support for commenting and ... requires a Google account.
It all seems insane to have to manage three different sets of account credentials and manage four different, slightly overlapping, but extremely useful memberships to post everything online. It means lots of crossposting.

For example... This article is on Blogger (where anyone with a Google account can comment), but I'm going to post this article on Facebook (where people will undoubtetly comment). The previous article linked to my Flickr page. The next article I post will link to my Youtube page for Nathan related enjoyment.

... really?

Who has created alternatives...

There is the Apple solution through iWeb and MobileMe that has very tight integration with iLife and iWork apps, but this really only works seamlessly for Mac owners and doesn't include a good social networking resource.
There's OpenID which has support for LiveJournal, Wordpress, Typepad, or AOL accounts, letting you use one ID but still requires maintaining separate memberships for different resources.
Google's trying -really hard- right now (Youtube/Picasa Web Albums/Blogger), but doesn't have that social networking component. Picasa also happens to be a little expensive, but not unreasonably so.

Who else, what else is out there? Everything's still walled off in its own proprietary feifdom, and until someone either comes up with a better solution (which would require massive amounts of programming and design work, community feedback, and PEOPLE to sign up / subscribe), it's going to continue like this.

I'm encountering similar issues between the XBOX360 and Wii camps right now. I have both, but some people have either / or.
