If I could get an invite to take a look I may have something to discuss ;)<br>
<br>
Actually I'm in two minds, I don't like Facebook much but it does have the<br>
killer feature of user base - or more specifically the fact that people I know<br>
use it (technically I have a Hi5 account because I was trying to get in touch<br>
with someone who used it and not Facebook, but it isn't a nice service and I'd<br>
rather they'd been on Facebook!). In theory Google should be able to use it's<br>
position to gain traction, and making it use Gmail for messaging and Picassa<br>
for photo sharing could give it an edge in flexibility (and instant user base).<br>
<br>
Diaspora*, if it ever gets going, will likely be much like Identica, preferred<br>
by techies, but always the also ran to Twitter purely on user base.<br>
<br>
Somebody ought to do a mashup that combines something like Identica, Wordpress,<br>
IMAP mail with webmail, Gallery, Jabber or etc. using RSS / Planet so the actual<br>
service being used for each contact is largely irrelevant. Then it wouldn't<br>
matter what blogging, instant messaging, picture sharing, 'tweeting' services<br>
were used.<br>
