As far as your suggestion that adopting a Flickr-style privacy model, I'm not sure that is the best solution either. More often than not I find the three tier system employed by Flickr to be completely inadequate. Unlike a lot of Flickr users I'm really against publishing images of friends or family without their explicit consent, yet I often would like to show those same individuals the pictures that have been taken of them. So the three tier system doesn't really work, because there are friends and then there are <i> friends </i> - there needs to be a much greater degree of specificity - which of course leads to greater complication followed by the need to address levels of greater complication which leads us back to the problem of time-kill, meaningful thought and experience eradication and general social noise. So I'll probably remain "non-participatory" until some form of elegant specificity is engineered. You almost have me sold on re-attempting Jaiku - but the privacy issue remains.
