We've been thinking in a similar direction with socialbridges but while blogging becomes more interesting as a discussion medium, its also becoming increasingly irrelevant in my view. Having discussions in a public online format doesn't decide the quality or seriousness of the people who discuss things there. By seriousness I dont mean the insights shared in the comments but are people even willing to do something about the issues discussed. These days I'm looking at the local blogosphere and increasingly find myself thinking "I wish these people would be more serious about these things - they could actually make a difference" or "I wish these opinions were not so clearly biased to the extent that the other pov doesnt even have space here to grow". Be a bit careful about feeling too strongly about making a practical difference.... it can hurt if no one else around you wants to do follow along. Would be great to hear your ideas too - send me an email and we can brainstorm. Deep post - looking forward to updates.
