NUblog: CommuniBlogger™
It's not exactly as if you guys had invented collablogs (see xanga for an example), but the article is interesting nonetheless. It's definitely a challenge to manage message boards. On the other hand, I wouldn't underestimate the resources necessary to build an efficient CommuniBlogger.

Here some ideas on where to start:

• a powerful, unified search engine across all blogs
• navigation based on topical classification
• support for common structures

From now on, I'll point to my older posts with a righteous and authoritative tone (see, I told you.) The plan is that after a while people will take my expertise for granted and will unquestioningly quote my wildest assumptions. It worked for many other gurus and their firms (come on, you know who I'm talking about.)
