Aggregating your global content output into your blog

[Julian Bond <julian_bond@voidstar.com>]

I routinely post to many different content systems on the web. I'd like 
to aggregate all this into my blog. I suspect that I'm not the only 
person who would like to do this.[1]

So here's the Lazyweb request. To achieve this I think we need two 
things.

1) CMS systems should routinely provide an RSS feed that contains all 
the posts (Articles, main content, comments, forum entries etc) from a 
single specified person. ie me.

2) Blog systems (Blogger, MT, Radio, etc) should routinely provide a way 
of reading a specific set of named RSS feeds and translating/formatting 
them into blog entries automatically.

I'd actually like to include some mailing lists into this as well. The 
problem is that email is usually much less formatted than web CMS 
entries. However this brings to mind that EZMLM, Mailman, Listproc and 
others don't (AFAIK) yet have RSS feeds. And the Yahoogroups RSS feeds 
are not really usable having no description/abstract and being empty for 
member view only lists. So here's the Lazyweb RSS evangelism call to get 
RSS output included in all the major mailing list engines and (again) to 
get Yahoogroups RSS feeds improved.

[1]I'm already doing this with everything I post on Ecademy getting 
mirrored to Voidstar. But it's incomplete. We've got at least three 
other people on Ecademy doing the same thing with their blogs. Having 
had this idea I'm going to write an extension in the Ecademy code to 
include all content types in a personal feed.
