That's why I license everything here Creative Commons. It's the conversation thing that really gets me though. I wish it was all connected. LIke you said, one big discussion. Me too.

As you mentioned there is no interoperability though between these platforms. I could have three seperate discussions going, on my blog, facebook, and Google. I would love if there would be a way to have one big discussion instead.

It may be a better place, or a more integrated place, but I still have ALREADY READ NEARLY EVERYTHING ON BUZZ before I even click it. This may get better if Buzz becomes a twitter-killer or something. 2) Fragmentation of the conversation, which you hit on. It's like Christmas with your family. You get asked what you've been up to about THREE THOUSAND SEPARATE TIMES and have to re-hash the same old story over and over again to different people in different places. UGH. Right now I don't read Buzz, because it was too much noise, and I don't have a fancy phone to post pictures from and all that malarky. I expect that Buzz will become more widely used and unique uses will evolve and it will eventually probably be awesome. Not yet, for me though. To me, the two big problems are:

Maybe a generational issue where we've grown up basically sharing everything about us except for the super-important stuff (bank accounts, SSNs, etc.). I'm not as paranoid as a lot of people are. Maybe to a fault even. I think I probably should be a bit more concerned with what data on myself I'm sharing. Yeah, I’m on your side with the privacy thing.
