Research direction

The issue is a broad proposal about improving discovery for blogs and names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the issue discussion and related linked material, then define a concrete experiment and success criteria. The issue does not specify what completion should look like.

Description

Don Park wrote on Twitter -- "I feel that discovery layer is missing or lacking. blogrolls didn't scale. ring blogs just sucked. SEO is just survival-of-the-fittest money pit.

"Discovery layer is critical. Without it, even recent push to reshape blogs into shops is meaningless. even small towns have a Main Street for discovery.

"Blogrolls worked more like book recommendations. Hard to maintain too. Worked well with new technology. With other and over multiple topics, not so well. We need a more self-organizing and ad-hoc, emergent if you will."

I'd like to do some thinking and experimenting in this area. It's a good time for me. Maybe others who have blogs want to do join in.
