There's a problem with trolls that will turn comments off on most high-traffic blogs, especially political blogs. Culling comments can take up a lot of time for bloggers. I've always felt that conversations ought to take place between blogs, if there were applications that could piece the conversations together. A blog conversation protocol, then, in answer to your question at the end of the post. > >The recognition of the "A-List" preceeds the creation of a market. > And just as markets have leaders, disruptors emerge to threaten > the A-list. "Burn down the mission, if you want to stay alive..." Sure. The A-list will be relevant always. You can't have a society without celebrity, and vice versa. Most of what exists today addresses the needs of the A-List, however. Blogging software itself makes sense for someone who is trafficked, but doesn't make as much sense for a programmer like myself, who blogs only when time permits. A personal CMS, makes more sense. With feeds, of course, but also with versioning, for the essayists among us. > > There are going to be new protocols for the construction of > > edges in the network, that are richer than tags and URIs, and > > the meaning of the edges will not be entrusted to a ranking > > algorithm. > That's the music market.

What programs are you going to add? I'd add an XML/REST interface to blogs for searching that blog. I'd also add a XML/REST vote interface, that would allow anyone to rank an article on that blog. I'd let to go wild, address the problem of gaming later, (or maybe after I get some sleep). -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@e... - http://engrm.com/blogometer/index.html - http://engrm.com/blogometer/rss.2.0.xml
