reBlog - Distilling Art and Technology
Eyebeam is pleased to announce the launch of reBlog, a web site republishing the best blog posts from around the web.
http://www.eyebeam.org/reblog/index.html
Created by Eyebeam's R&D Department, reBlog is a new system that aggregates RSS feeds from all over the web, with a simple interface for selecting our favorite posts and a hack that uses Movable Type to republish the content. The site will feature a series of guest reBloggers who will continually pick their favorite posts and links on art, technology and culture. Please check out the selections from our first reBlogger Jonah Peretti, Eyebeam's Director of R&D.

hmm. interesting hack they did to get this up and running. I mean, it's kinda cool, but nothing spectacular -- just a way for a community to easily edit / consolidate information from sources they already trust (and thus feed).
it's such a perfect example of the already insestuous blogging community. I'd like to see a dialogue set up between two blog sites, where each one automatically posts entries with links to the other, then the other blogs posts links from the first one, and a nice little loop is set up...
