Web 2.0 Idea: Comments Blog / Post Aggregator

Description: While there are a few services focusing on comments, none of the services feature customized comments blogs. To give an all-encompassing view of a certain persona, the original post would be included in addition to the commenter's response. Aggregated over large blog platforms, it could provide an interesting service for existing communities. Not only would it automatically generate personal "sub-blogs," but it would also provide selected blog posts from a particular viewpoint. Monetization would be traditional ads and the original posters would get a percentage of the ad profits.

From a platform view, this could be a centralized, platform which has consensual deals with major blogging platforms (blogger, wordpress, livejournal) or it could be an additional feature provided by a major blogging platform.

Market: Existing blogging communities, microblogging communities

Expansion: Aggregated, personalized blogs and public feeds
