Ping.fm removes you from the conversation

There is service out called Ping.fm, with this site you can update to multiple services at one time. While this might be great for people or companies that use social networks to broadcast information, it is not intended for those that want to be in the conversation.
Yes, social media is about conversations. One of the big reasons I use Twitter is to connect with people and converse with them. If I was just sending out updates with Ping.fm, I would miss the conversation and not be using the network to my advantage.
So, while there are the fanboys of the service out there, they are missing the reason for the true use of social networks – conversations.
Are you part of a conversation, or is sending updates your only reason for social networks.
