dynamic blogrolls, blog clusters, comments as bridges, desktop composite, team workgroups

A bunch of great ideas from Phil Wolff:

Dynamic blogrolls, based on my last 5 posts. On my entire blog. On my physical neighborhood.

Translate my blog.

Bloggers cluster. Show me other clusters I should watch, so I can be a bridge. Understand that comment systems are also bridge material, associated strongly with the commentor's blog, medium with the subject of the comment, and loosely with the other commenters.

Create a composite page of pictures (and related links) posted by people in my neighborhood. Perhaps a screensaver.

Now imagine this in specific org contexts. Team workgroups. Project launches.

Google's agents have 3-to-4 fewer orders of magnitude less filtering to do. So, better quality, faster response. More tacit knowledge.

Enhanced language capability

Give us more languages; more robust, accurate, clear translations; integrate it so I can publish/read in a variety of languages, and make it as easy as the blogger templates that let you change font size and color with one click. How it fits the mission: this will supercharge global conversations that generate genuine, timely, valuable information/opinion/entertainment.
