Any Social Tool would just do wonders for a lot of us. I almost see that it will move WP into a new genre... which they haven't fully played in, natively. Awesome Idea!!!

Facebook / Bebo etc are build for the masses. Until Wordpress bridges that gap with ease, it will be very much limited to a technical audience. Sites like Mybloglog atm are bridging that Gap, so maybe there is mileage in it.
