Here’s what I want. I want a plugin for Firefox or something that will unify my blog and all of my posts in all mediums throughout the internet. I also want it to then put all those posts into a context that readers can quickly and easily understand.

Ideally, what it would do is allow me to take a post from a messageboard, click on it and “Add to Blog” – then, on the blog, the initial post would appear. If a person didn’t have all the context to understand the particular post, they could click on it, and it would open the thread the post belonged to. If there were multiple re-postings, instead of adding it as a new post, it would “pop” the old post to the top of the blog, but update it so the “highlighted” post was the most recent one. Whether the old location for the entry would contain a link, or the older version of the post is up to the reader of this post to decide.

This would happen for *everything* that I wanted to just grab, and pull over to the blog. Livejournal comments, comments from other people’s blogs, messageboard posts, Amazon reviews – whatever.

It’d be interesting to see how you could basically take a long conversation that occurs over multiple peoples’ blogs, and essentially concatenate them into a messageboard. The total RSS aggregate of all the people’s blogs you read would more or less turn into a messageboard that was customized by *your* input, and the various conversations you were having throughout the intarwebs.

I bet there’s already something that does this. And if there isn’t, there should be. It basically takes the moderation and administration (huge pains in the butt for public boards), and puts them into the end-user’s hands, in a very distributed fashion.
