commongate is a service for creating communal blogs (thanks to John Tropea for the link). Perhaps its nicest feature is that you can post to various gates (topics), and then view/feed gates and view/feed the collection of all a person’s posts: topics and people are both organizing elements.
So right now I’ve set up two blogs at wordpress: research2.wordpress.com and opencampaigns.wordpress.com. I can have a web page or profile that points to both, but there is no collated place to view all my posts, for me or someone else.
commongate’s basic setup is more in-line with the sybil-nature of all of us: we have multiple personalities. If we set up one blog, its too noisy. If we have multiple ones, its too schizoid.
Its nice to view posts by topic or person, and if you like a person’s posts on baseball be able to check out their posts about football.
peoplicious, the system I’m building, has a similar goal but works on top of the existing setup. Its organized by people, and you can specify a person’s blog. Then you can create lists of people, and in effect, you create a communal blog, because when you look at the list, you see the posts collated.
So you can create a ‘gateway’ from existing blogs, as with a blog aggregator.
Peoplicious is designed to allow more than one blog per person, but that’s not yet implemented. It does allow delicious name to be set, and then it collates a person’s posts and bookmarks.
