Microsoft Live Ambient Idiocy^H^H^H^H Intimacy? Google bought Jaiku, which I don't use but, if I did, I wouldn't feel bad about because I don't distrust GOOG as much as I do MSFT. Which raises the question: how much do you value the connections you've made in any given social networking app? Enough to hold your nose if/when it gets bought out? Or will you jump ship, not knowing if your mates (real or virtual) will go with you? Tim
