From the In Box: The Blogging of Business. Sadly, there's nothing easy like this at all that I know of that is easy to implement. If you would put out the call for programmers to cook up some sort of PHP/Perl parser of XML feeds, I'd be more than happy to guinea pig it on my box. [Heath Row's Media Diet]
update: This entry was brought to you by Blagg, Rael Dornfest’s RSS aggregator, and its Movable Type plugin. I actually hadn’t realized this was posted! I checked the site right after running Blagg, but I guess I had to manually trigger a rebuild by posting something else. I’m still not really sure I see the point of completely automatically posting other people’s RSS entries to your blog…
I see this as useful for folks who want to run their own independent blogs — and then aggregate the sum of the parts in a metablog. Remember the Five Lives project I wanted to do, Joe? A Geek Cereal-like group journal with a different person/place/life every day. This could facilitate that much more easily than we would’ve been able to do it those years ago.
I don’t see a point in using this for folks you don’t know, but as affinity groups and tribes continue to develop online, I think we’ll see more and more groupblogs compiling multiple independent blogs. You can read who you like — or you can read the gang.
