Reading Room
The idea begins with completely abandoning the conventional use of weblog as some kind of journal archived temporarily.
As news sites or blogs are there with various implementation of xml, and a good xml feed is frequenty updated, why not put various feeds into one basket, the blog? Therefore, say good bye to aggregators since regular browser with minimal javascript capability might just perfectly work.
This so-called 'reading room' is then like a piece of newspaper with the content i can choose and customize. I can pick the source from anywhere i like. I can sort it, contract it, or place an external link to view it in toto. Even better, i can place a message board so i can make a fresh comment about the news (a new way to treat blog items, eh? at least for me).
A simple idea, so far i think, that at least for me revives the use of xml devoid the irritating operation of lots of present day aggregators.
