In the late days of the Web 2.0 bubble there’s been a quest for a simple way to aggregate all social content and interactions.
It struck me that the frameworks for this are in place on the internet for over two decades now. They are Newsgroups and IRC.
Both technologies are free and quite stable, and have endured the test of time.
A couple of daemons and some API connections could easily integrate most web 2.0 sites into these old beasts.

It seems such a good idea that i’ll probably take a shot at creating something in this area my self. One thing that i’ve learned is that developing on top of new tech is a recipe for disaster and constant headache. If anything comes up, i’ll let you know soon.
