@Ryan –

Awesome! I haven’t invested much, and I’m not about to get into the business (read too much Krugman for that). However, my Mint has long lain dormant, and I think I’ll probably give it another shot once I have ING etc set up.

Nice, Petey! Kalle and I have been using ING and Mint.com to manage budgets and do all kinds of banking wizardry. ING’s sharebuilder is an easy, open, cheap brokerage site as well. I had never invested before, but Kalle invited me and we split a referral bonus, then I put a little bit of money into stocks. It’ll be interesting to see how I do in the long run…

Matt –

As I said, I’ll have to give it a shot, and see how it works out. You’re right that Facebook is different from Twitter is different from LinkedIn. In fact, one of the things I’ve always wanted was a collection of contacts that was less personal than Facebook (where I talk with people with whom I am close) and more personal than LinkedIn (which is painfully formal).

Perhaps Google Buzz could fill that gap. Thing is, I’m not so sure that’s what GOOGLE intends it to do, and I’m troubled in general by designs that run against the expectations of users.

Thing is – I was worried about Facebook’s privacy thing because I’ve always considered it a personal network. That is, it is where I connect with IRL friends. I see Buzz more like twitter or Friendfeed, where everything is assumed to be public and I can connect with just about anyone in the world.

The location option on my Droid is very prominent, so I’m not too worried about posting when I don’t want to.

And really, with spam filters as they are today, email address posting isn’t as scary to me anymore. I already have a public email address posted on my website, so why not on Buzz? I’ve never considered email some sort of safe haven where only those I know can contact me. I already have a private email address for that kind of stuff.

All that being said, the photo thing is strange and sounds like a glitch. Still, I’ll have to be very careful with mobile Buzz until that gets sorted.
