You might not find it too difficult to integrate all of these lists using a bit of coding. Most of the services you mention probably have APIs, and it's likely there are some libraries for the scripting language of your choice out there. I wrote a quick bit of Ruby code, with a little elisp function to call it, to pull my bookmarks from ma.gnolia into an emacs buffer, for example. I don't know Ruby too well, but with the help of a library I found, this was a 15 minute job. Extend this to all your other services, and it'd be fairly easy to have a "master-list" in Emacs.
