Backing up stuff from websites.

Ok so if I'm going to give in and start being a social media whore, can I at least back up my info? I know my friend Kevin was telling me that "open websites" let you can grab all your info from their DB. I wonder how possible that is for other sites. Could I, say, back up my Twitter contacts? My google reader feeds? My delicious links? (yet to join the latter two). I can concede that these outside sources know what I'm doing and what I'm interested in and who my friends are and where I live, but I don't like depending on them to keep my data.

I should start by setting up IMAP for my Gmail account, sheesh...
