Blogoforum Blogoforum - Pulling in RSS feeds?

recent > blogoforum > idea > web > rss and xml

It's been a long time since I posted anything sensible anywhere.

I guess this is the best place to start a fresh.

Blogoforum has come a long way. The new look is kinda interesting, though I still have to get used to it. :)

Somewhere in the recent past I stopped having conversations across the web. One of the primary reason for this was my shift to a career in media, specifically as a Radio Jockey in a local Radio Station here.

One of the other reasons was I bought a domain and started my own blog - though, I don't post there too frequently either. :D

The one problem that repeatedly comes back to me in all the trawls of the web, is the scattering of my conversations across the place. Comments, Blogs, Profiles, Identities, all of these exist in varied numbers and in various stages of lethargy.

Haviung a centralised identity system is scary - at least, I perceive it that way. The other alternative, as I see it, would be to group individual elements in a unique place, while allowing the other identities to flourish as they are.

I see that potential here at Blogoforum.

To start with, for example, if I could simply pull my RSS feeds here, but at the same time keep a link back to my main blog so that people could return there to comment, it would render my existence so much simple.

With most of the web 2.0 start-ups and players accepting XML as a universal 'language' maybe that could be a potential USP for Blogoforum.

Maybe I am rambling, but maybe there's a gold mine in that idea.

Anyone care to take that up?
