1. Most of this is fairly easy to arrange and is a simple matter of programming. The tricky bit is to aggregate all the text posts that are left all over the web. Things like this very comment that are left on weblogs, bulletin boards, mailing lists and so on.

2. All I want, all I really REALLY want: Bloglines to have a special folder that is My Uber Feed. I put feeds into that folder that I "own" and can otherwise redistribute to others. My 2 del.icio.us feeds, my 2 Blogger feeds, my 43 Things feed, etcetera. If Bloglines got fancy, they could then render the contents of that folder into something customizable and portlet-like -- not unlike what Tribe appears to be doing.

That's really all I want. And it strikes me as a brilliantly simple usage model (just add it to this one special folder -- none of this Feedjumbler followed by Feedburner business that annoys me). Please let me know when it's ready. :)

3. I've been kicking a similar idea around for a couple years now. Recently had enough time to write it down and make it available. Except that with my idea it would be a component that plugs into your operating system and publishs everything that you create under a Creative Commons licence via P2P. Would need a browser component as well to capture and publish comments or submissions made via a web browser.

5. There's a service called Blogdigger which has an application called Blogdigger Groups that aggregates any number of RSS feeds into a single context, which comes with aggregate RSS output, as well as full text and field search for the entire archive. (Disclosure: I built it). I have it set up for my personal blogs, work blog, comments/trackback feed, Furl, Flickr, del.icio.us and Webjay accounts all funneled into a single feed.

We're working on some improvements, but we've had a lot of folks using it thus far and have been pretty happy. If you'd like to check it out, it's at http://groups.blogdigger.com/ . If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

6. For what it's worth, I tend to think as a DLA a lot more like a personal dashboard which gives me access to my private information, not just the output of others. I think the two provide for quite different use cases (although both could easily be encompassed in a single app).

e.g. bills, bank balance, etc.

7. Phil -- I agree with you on the DLA covering personal information. I usually think of it as having a public and a private face, both -- ideally, I could turn any bit public or private at will, or better yet, have even more atomic flags for private/family/friends/public. It's the centralization that's attractive to me -- one interface to rule them all, as it were. Log in to access anything of relevance to me, basically, and allow my social sphere to interact with the data bits that are public.

8. That's exactly what I myself was also looking for - having one global feed that merges all my online activities. Since I couldn't find anything that did that for me, I created my own thing - http://feedjumbler.com

Works pretty good - you can find my meta-feed at http://feedjumbler.com/users/lazytom/lazytoms_feeds/
