When they join, they do the same. If and only if both parties agree would the automagic happen.

Dave asked Biff (from getnkd.com) 'where is the RSS' on his new 'private / closed' messaging platform for 'real friends'. The answer is of course, there can never be any because of the perceived privacy outings from unintended context switches. I suspect a similar argument would apply around the data portability issues. bottom line - dont just asume everybody wants to be fully open all the time. this issue really hit me in the face about halfway thru my (extraordinary.thepodcastnetwork.com) podcast yesterday.
