One Communication Tool to rule them all.

The more I play with Google+ the more convinced I become that it has the potential to become my Internet communication hub. Already with plus' integration of latitude I can get rid of foursquare (although I'll miss the badges, being mayor and getting free stuff from Hooters, the power of huddle makes up for it). I'm already seriously considering dumping Twitter. As soon as I get enough of my Facebook contacts over here my FB status updates will die down. Hangout & GoogleVoice means I don't need Skype anymore.If there was html support I wouldn't even need my personal blog anymore. So what's missing. Well I still need Evernotes, Google used to have a notebook tool but they discontinued it. If they brought it back and integrated it with plus that would be sweet. So far there isn't a Book club replacement for Goodreads, though with Google's relationship with Amazon (there are ongoing rumors that there will be a Amazon Android Tablet coming soon) perhaps it would make more sense to integrate with Shelfari. I've been very happy with the community created at Sparkpeople and while its not there yet I can see how Sparks has the potential to replace that for me someday. I still need a GTD tool like Nozbe A mind mapper tool like MindMeister. A personal financial tool like MoneyStrand and a time tracker like RescueTime. Now I'm not trying to suggest that Google should try to replace all these fine tools. but I would *love* it if the google API allowed all these tools to integrate so I can work with everything from my google+ workspace.
