Some of the FriendFeed diehards are already using it as their homepage. I do not plan on doing that, but I understand the need for one "home". That is why I think the next generation of personalized homepages will be interesting. @Julie I do think many users/consumers want some destination like iGoogle right now. It is easier to get all of your "stuff" in one spot. I absolutely agree that the hubbub is because everyone wants to be the destination, a very good point. @Colin

I'm not a social media guru like y'all, but isn't that pretty obvious? It's a strange little dance that services create in order to plant an idea in people's heads about need. In reality, there may not be such a need for social media consumers, only the providers. The reason why there’s so much hubbub about destinations is because everyone wants to BE the destination.

I like Steven's take in his podcast about what Alexander had to say. He interpreted Alexanders "destination" as the place we return to to regroup and assess what we have been doing - I think that pretty much sums it up. We are constantly moving, branching out and discovering new things so it is nice to come "home" but that is merely a resting place rather than our ultimate destination.

However, the idea of a single destination is not really the point of social media or blogging. That was my real point. With regards to your comment, I read it and thought that it sounded very similar to what the semantic web has the potential to be. @Mark

Natural human desire and a part of reputation management. With regards to my comment in the Rex thread, I wasn't specifically thinking of the "semantic Web" but it's possible, I guess.
