Any blogger who contributes to a few sites, or a has a few blogs has thought about having one site that complied everything on it. Some people have hacked together something using XML feeds from here and javascript from there but that's kind of clunky and not user friendly. It could also be a massive headache if you contribute to a site with other authors. For example, what if I wanted all my posts from SBDC, Blogging.la, Metroblogging.com, Bloggers Without Borders and Cult Of The One Eyed Cat one the same page with all my photos from Flickr and Buzznet, as well as all my del.icio.us bookmarks? I'd need to hire a programming team or turn into Joi ito.

Or maybe not. Technorati might have just solved this problem without even trying thanks to their new tags sorting. Know where I'm headed with this? Create a tag for yourself, I'm using "seanbonner" and start using it on your posts (as a category, or even jut code it into your templates) and as a tag for del.icio.us and flickr and next thing you know, you have a MeBlog. Check this:

I just thought of this so there's not a lot of content, but it's pulling posts from all those places onto one page. People can now read specific content on a specific blog, or all your content on your meblog.

Halfway through this post Tom Bridge started IMing me and mentioned this exact same thing, that he wanted one site that collected all his posted and we started talking about this. He suggested throwing in the tags with a "display:none" attribute so they are totally out of reader view. Now someone just needs to put together a hack so that all my del.icio.us bookmarks pull directly from my account, so I don't have to tag each one...

OK, back to messing with this stuff - things to think about: one RSS feed from technorati that monitored all of this stuff / MeBlog spamming, what's to stop someone from making a "sean bonner smells" post and tagging it "seanbonner"... nothing I guess.
