briansolis: Ladies and Gentlemen, The Conversation Has Left The Building

I'm willing to bet this post gets discussed on Twitter, FriendFeed, in a variety of other blogs, but as you say, not here in the comments.
I feel I owe it to the author to comment here first, then elsewhere if I'm so inclined. When the conversation only takes place on other venues, it's not social.
You've made some good points that I might want to expand on in my blog, but I break the conversational chain if I only reply there and not here.
It is going to be a challenge to aggregate all our web presence into one interface. There are some early attempts, but at the moment they all fall short in one aspect or another. There is a plugin for Word Press that will make Twitter feeds of my posts and posts of my Twitter comments, but that only addresses the one service.
The speed at which developments take place on the internet make us impatient. It may take some time for someone to develop the killer application we all need.

Excellent article. I made a map much like this months ago and will post it also.

Brian,
Great post topic. I have definitely seen the dilution of comments and conversation through various social media channels. I myself have even been propagating this. After I read your post I twittered it, and then realized that I should actually comment on your page!
I think another interesting topic would be how the off line interactions influence the online conversations.
Great stuff Brian,
Jacob

Great topic Brian.
I have been finding this "distributed conversation" to be a fact for me for a while now. It's great to see comments pile up on a post, but when I remind myself that a reaction on Twitter is still a comment, I remind myself that the conversation is taking off.
Then it;s just a matter of keeping track.
another example is my use of Utterz. Utterz goes through Twitter (much of the time) and my blog (fairly frequently). On the blog posts, you can see how many replies I have on Utterz.com that are not in the blog post's own thread, which is kind of interesting.

"The best conversationalists are also the best listeners."
This is a hard one for me. I tend to interrupt in a conversation because my brain is already formulating my response.
However, when using applications such as IM and Google Chat I am forced to "listen" to the entire response and I like that. It's good training for real life :)

Hi Brian,
An excellent observation into the decentralisation trend that's happening.
i sort of usually want to hold on to where my publishing starts from, and i try to make my blog at least a central gathering point of everything else i do online. (my lifestream if you may)
but perhaps you are right, i think there are so many places you can publish, and it may be humanly impossible to centralise all that information.
Blogging is evolving, i find some inspiration from this blogger over here, at how he has used an effective design to bring his lifestream together onto one web entity. (www.yongfook.com)<br /> being able to listen in to the nuggets from the overload of information and publishing so that it gets on effective web channels, is definitely the new media literacy skill that practitioners need now.
