Well, the current structure of web goes like as follows :-

1. You have some structured data. 2. You convert it to structured data to unstructured data, and render it on the browser in form of xml 3. Then search engines crawl your pages, and work night and day to build heuristics to convert this unstructured peice again to structured data. which is never optimal.

Can't this be completely avoided? Isn;t it quite unintelligent to go through this loop?

i thought they were smart. but this is all they do.

I agree that people are lazy. The user acquisition by these new social networks is far more intrusive. Asking for gmail, linkedin, yahoo, your-favourite-mail-app passwords, and then spamming all. i receive 5 such invitations daily, which are part of intrusive practices. With this, they build up users and seek more funding, giving a false impressions that they are "popular" amongst people.

They should improve features, but as of now , features are not visible. Most of them are just theme based social networks. Which makes me inquisitive about the number of social networks each user joins on an average.

each has its own pros and cons! one thing i feel is that browsers should rethink about some features like desktop access. This is will help in more powerful apps.

Nice thoughts! We share a common goal! :)

I am trying to solve the problem of blog consumption. Blog consumption, by nature is personalized. You have your own set of feeds that you read daily. I have a different set. Which means that whatever feed/post appeals you, might not suit my taste, and vice versa. Thus, community rating like digg etc, is not the right way to treat your blog posts, or in other words, you should not draw your recommendations "completely" from such a system. That's why i intend to build a personalized system, (may be plugged in your favourite reader) for this!.

Good suggestions! Have been thinking on the same lines myself. Have a system design ready, and will post it in 2 days to get it reviewed. cya then :).

Current blog discovery mechanisms like technorati and google search are not much helpful in that. Consuming blog feeds has more to do with personalization. Keyword based search is a bit callow for this. ideas use case should be when u r reading a blog entry, your reader should throw recommendations for it. I am planning to build this infrastructure. Any suggestions/critics for this?
