charmianIt seems that Google is rapidly updating Buzz to deal with criticisms and feedback.

http://brad.livejournal.com/2408782.html <--Brad Fitzpatrick explains how to feed LJ posts into Buzz.
http://www.google.com/buzz/bradfitz/PPjHXDhANAC/Want-to-connect-your-blog-or-some-other-feed-to: Brad F. explains how to connect other blogs to Buzz. (Preliminary tool) another explanation here. Anyway, looks like I spoke too soon about not being able to connect Buzz to other sites with RSS.
A developer talks about future plans for the Buzz API: sounds exciting
Not related directly to Buzz but nonetheless interesting:
The Salmon Protocol: "Salmon aims to define a standard protocol for comments and annotations to swim upstream to original update sources -- and spawn more commentary in a virtuous cycle. It's open, decentralized, abuse resistant, and user centric. "
On activity streams and cross-posting: Man, I sure hope they get somewhere on this! Actually, to me the worst problem about crossposting is redundancy. If everyone is pushing their updates everywhere, that means I see the same things over and over again.

Date: 2010-02-12 03:31 pm (UTC)There's a part of me that wants to reduce the amount I crosspost, but I know more (different) people read my FB updates than my Tweets, and while I personally prefer Twitter most of the people I want to read my stuff prefer FB, so I write for both.
Buzz looks interesting, but so far everyone using it that I'm following is just crossposting their tweets, but I'm seeing them more reliably now.
Definitely would like to see Salmon for LJ/DW commenting.

Date: 2010-02-12 07:11 pm (UTC)I don't mind cross-posting in and of itself, but as a reader, I wish there was a way not to see posts that I've already seen (filtering out streams?) Maybe Buzz will deliver on that score.
