My Profile on Google Buzz is...., but I ain't happy

#“My Profile on Google Buzz is…., but I ain’t happy”

Right, I'm in playing with Google Buzz on the Desktop and I don't like it but I'll keep at it for a while. It's Friendfeed 2.0, and we all know what a roaring success that was.

A bigger problem is the lack of GoogApps account support. I have driven all my mail through that account for the past three years. Now I have to revert to an old semi-dead GMail account to use Buzz.

So do I build up a network on Buzz there and in 3 months time Google announces "Yay we now support Google Apps in Buzz" and I have to start all over again?

Identity in Google in totally broken. I have a LouderVoice Goog Apps account and I have exactly the same email address as a Google Profile but not as GMail. So I can log in some places with GoogApps, some places with the Goog Profile and others with the old GMail account.

Even in Android, which does accept Goog Apps accounts, if I try and use that account in Google Voice on the Android phone, it tells me to piss off and use a GMail account. Ditto the Amazon MP3 store.

Does anyonein Google talk to anyone else?
Oh yeah.

But perhaps not forever.

Any chance I can change that to conoro or conoroneill? Nah, didn't think so. Too busy boiling the ocean to add useful features.
