As is Straub. It is a bit of a Sisyphean struggle, but that isn't a bad thing. I would like to think we get a bit better with each uphill climb. As for whether we are tiring of all of this new stuff, I think we are but that has probably been the case with most technologies for a few thousand years. New things come along, everyone jumps on the bandwagon and after a while either the technology dies, or is improved, but either way it only sticks around for those it is actually helping. I've noticed a pretty large dropoff in tweets lately as people sort of settle into what it is good for and what it isn't. I think that Google Buzz might be a separate case, though, as I think it really crossed a privacy line that I didn't even think Google could cross. I think you are right, Monica. As is Straub.
