It has become borderline stupid. As long as you *have* comments, and people are talking, that’s what’s important. Does it matter whose servers, or services, it sits on, as long as it’s driving thoughts and brainwaves to you.

Just so you know: there are people who would like to become part of a solution. I’ve been working on an initiative and would actually like to speak to you personally about participation/feedback.

The madness you are exposing is something that needs to be wrangled before it gets out of control. The future of social media depends on users feeling free to express their opinions however, and wherever, they want without the risk of losing their identity or losing what they feel belongs to them. A lot of otherwise intelligent bloggers are taking a dangerously selfish stance on this topic.

I think the work you are doing with YackTrack is important. I think more needs to be done. I envision a plan that will benefit bloggers, social media service providers, services like YackTrack, and last but certainly not least the users. If you would like to open a line of communication with me then please email me at the address I left with this comment so we can get in touch via IM or the phone to talk about the future.
