I’d like to talk to you about this a little bit further, but I find one flaw in your logic :-).

MSN Spaces scare me. Asian blog networks are even worse. Not sure what I wish for them, but I have yet to read a single blog on any of those networks that I come back to.

Well, before I point it out, let me ask:
MSN Spaces is more to the “MySpace” side, than it is like LiveJournal, Xanga, etc. Right? Same for the asian blog networks?
If this is the case, never mind :-). If not, I have to mention one thing:
WordPress.com
It’s the ‘community blog site’ without the community. It admittedly carries some links to each other, but none of the real heavy get together features like the *Journals and such.

I think the one big giant step forward that LiveJournal pioneered is OpenID. Now, I can go talk to anyone (DeadJournal, GreatestJournal, all those LJ-offshoots using the same code) without having to maintain a log in on every single site.

But yeah, wp.com is supposed to be THE wordpress “community”.
Does your distaste for blog communities extend to wp.com as well?

1. Agreed on podcasting. I’ve found a good number of podcasts that just aren’t up to par. Sound Quality is subpar for the most part. However, I am hoping to lift the bar!! Stop by, http://www.soundtrip.com/

2. I think the strength of Themes is completely underrated. I would love to see a move from cookie cutter blogs and find more professional looking designs. Theme competitions help a long way toward this. - Trip
