Great, now let me get my Reader stuff. Edit: And put the buzz stuff in some sort of timeline. I guess this raises the question of an archival format for moder

  Buzz includes shared items/notes in Reader. You can always export (& import) your subscriptions: http://www.google.com/reader/subscriptions/export?hl=en http://www.google.com/reader/subscriptions/export?hl=en . Also, although there isn't any manifest or timeline file, each .html file for Buzz has a last modified date that corresponds to when it was created. In addition, in the file itself, it has a timestamp. This seems more than reasonable. Sure an XML/JSON timeline might be nice, but it wouldn't be human-readable either.

    Reader shared items only appear in buzz if you've "connected" reader to buzz. I don't have it connected because people I know hate seeing stuff in buzz they've seen elsewhere. Plus, I've got hundreds of reader items I shared before buzz existed. I don't think google even keeps them though they imply that they do. I just used "save web page, complete" in firefox on my buzz feed and got something better than what the takeout buzz download gave me. The Cloud^TM - because all filesystems should be stochastic. Is my file there? Maybe!! We don't know, honestly. Your query timed out? I guess the system doesn't know either. Try again later!
