A unified mailbox that uses both aggregation and syndication to communicate across multiple communication channels is what Gmail Buzz should have been. It's a great product. The existing XMPP and upcoming IMAP support make it Data Portability friendly.

With a caveat that we're working off of announcements and not our first-hand experience..
What they announced today suggests they are thinking about practical data portability.
Their messaging improvements help users extend conversations outside their web site. So a web message Amy sends to Bob will find Bob in his email, his mobile app, SMS, and his Facebook inbox.
This helps people bring their conversations into facebook from other services, in this case from email and SMS. This also help people keep their conversations sync'd and fresh on facebook and other sites, like Gmail. Facebook is showing they understand that personal data portability matters to their users.
Along with this announcement, Facebook said they want to provide you access to your complete history of your Facebook activity. This may be new. If so, this is a new data portability practice.
