They really are moving on this product. I could see a Mashup with Gtalker and ClipMarks. It would be something incredible that would blow away YakALike. Essentially you could chat with others looking at the clips in clipmarks. Example is your are reading a clipmark and what do have allow a group conversation, Gtalker could handle this from the looks of it.

we've been thinking a lot about that type of idea rmowery. not specifically with Gtalker, though i'm definitely open to that.

Our thinking here is that we have some critical things to work on before our house is more in order (probably a couple of weeks worth of stuff). then we can begin to seriously start to think about tying in with other solutions.

can't tell you how excited i am for that day to arrive

Eric, do you know the Carr Bros? Those boys make creative and elegant stuff, but seem to lose interest after initial release, I'm thinking about Gush in particular, which has issues that haven't been addressed.
They have stopped responding to email (maybe just mine) and their little helpbot or whatever it's called, is never online anymore.
