All caveats about aggregation are well-taken, Jacob, but there's no reason to even consider making it THAT easy IMO. That wasn't even on my mind when I originally tossed out the suggestion.
Certainly, there should be some thought put into the process that prevents a firehose result. The original issue was someone not having time and/or interest in keeping the blog fresh and current, and I proposed pulling in content from other blogs as *one* possibility. I've seen it done very well in other communities; the use of filter categories and/or keywords, combined with an initial rigorous vetting process, allows the maintainer to reduce their portion of the work considerably. But, sure, 100% automated has its own issues. Anyway thanks for your efforts and I look forward to the results!
