I still don't think you'd really want to confuse the two - they are separate 
"resources". If you signed up for a service that offered a weblog, a 
homepage, a wiki and a photo album, they'd all be distinct from each other.

Agreed, I think you might want to have some subproperty of e.g. dc:related to 
relate the weblog to the account. If an online account could be said to be an 
agent (debatable), you could even use foaf:weblog...

I can see an online account *service* being a wiki (with a homepage?), but not 
the online account itself - I think it's possible to describe a project, its 
wiki and online accounts on that wiki with existing foaf (and perhaps doap) 
properties, but I'm not sure...
