i completely agree, Mu. i have come to tune out the posts i know are being broadcast, because i don't expect that the poster will be involved in any subsequent conversation. especially on Plurk, because it is all about conversation there.
my other objection is that since i do belong to and actively participate in multiple social networks, i get tired of seeing the same identical post in three or four places. Ping.fm is entirely one way, so there's no way i can indicate that i've seen a certain post and have no need to see it again and again. the worst is on a service like Friendfeed or if using Twhirl, where the duplication really starts to get annoying. add to that services like Jaiku, which allows you to include feeds from other services, it makes the lifestreams terribly polluted with repetition.
i would much rather see people get away from Ping and focus on Friendfeed (which is now cluttered with duplicated broadcast posts), since FF is far more interactive and even provides a centralized location for feedback and participation.

in Pugnacious Hillary Clinton on Bang the Drum
after reading @baratunde's post & exchanging a tweet, i've formed a new working hypothesis and he's confirmed it: Hillary has converted to the GOP, and is on a political suicide mission to destroy the Democratic party from within. when we say she's positioning herself for 2012, we are talking about the Republican ticket -- McCain having by that point aged out of contention.
Case in point - did you see the interview BillO had with Hillary? He was positively fawning over her. Asking these pseudo-tough questions that were artfully designed to allow her to shine, thereby giving her a great introduction to her future supporters.
alright i'm probably paranoid, over-reacting, and being snarky. but if i hear that woman comparing her manipulative, dishonest, sneaky political strategy to the civil rights movement one more time my head WILL explode.

omg i am so furious i could just spit right now. who the hell does she think she is and how DARE she invoke the civil rights movement like it applies to her calculated, deliberate decisions to go AGAINST HER PARTY and leave her name on those ballots? she has done everything in her power to tear the Democratic party apart. sometimes i wonder when she converted over to the GOP, ya know?
