This idea is huge. Over time even heavy eBay and Amazon users for example can post a new item on their own weblog and then have a list of sites that they automatically post to.

From their site:
“Our newest application that allows you to participate in diverse communities all from within your blog. With Perspectives you to can extend the reach of information by making it available to a wider audience, cross posting to diverse communities, or, targeting information within your own community down to particular individuals… without ever leaving your blog.”

For Posts, I used: script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://open.judysbook.com/blog/myposts.aspx?m=member.id&key=member.key&val=1&pts=5&sfl=0&spl=1″>

For Friends I used: script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://open.judysbook.com/blog/friends.aspx?m=member.id&key=member.key&fts=5&val=1&sfl=1&spl=0&images=1″>

pts is “# posts to show”, fts is “# friends to show”, val is “view link” on / off, sfl is “show friend link on / off”, spl is “show post link on / off”, and images is “images on / off”

Actually, wouldn’t it be better if all three types of information flowed into a unified system that supports varying levels of permissions?

Imagine a blogsite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogsite) that magically presents information in a security context for each class of authoring user (and visitor). Public visitors would have a security context (e.g., $Public) just as invited/credentialed users (i.e., insiders).

This approach would enable the management of all your personal content (reagardless of discrete presentation objectives) in one environment. Of course, the system would need to support arbitrary “bluctures” (blog-structures) to handle structured information that isn’t adequately persisted in a blog-blob.

Ideally, this environment would make it easy to syndicate *any* information with both filter-patterns and also in a security context.

I’ve enjoyed the experience with Judy’s Book, but I’d like syndication formats (RSS?). To your point about “Page Two” – the ideal personal information blogsite would also allow you to seamlessly aggregate content from Judy’s Book directly into your presentation model.

How did you integrate this Judy’s Book information? I couldn’t find any obvious semantic format from which to achieve this.

Feld says “I’ve recently become obsessed with the notion that all my data should be integrated in one place and be able to be entered from one place.”

He added that “Of course, this isn’t true”, it might will be true if …
