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
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?
