Thanks for sharing your thoughts - I agree that the third-person makes the most sense in some community contexts, but I still think the first-persona has more power. I do still like Flickr's model - acknowledge the third-person actions, but don't give them the same weight as something someone wrote. That's a good measure for me - if someone took time to compose their thoughts, then it deserves more prominence in the stream, vs. the auto-generated activities that don't require the same investment.
