BlogConversations #3 - BookGroupFormingNetworks

A stupendously wonderful application for RidiculouslyEasyGroupFormingNetworks would be an All Consuming companion site that would enable an aggregate blog of book-related posts.

So, one blog that would aggregate the posts on Smart Mobs and Lessig's Code and whatever other books the BlogMob is reading.

P.S. Some implementation thoughts:

Use a bookmarklet to catch the ISBN number (as in LibraryLookup) and then use the mt.setPostCategories command in the MetaWeblog API to create a post categorized by "BookClub" and by ISBN.

Then syndicate and aggregate by category.

It's my implementation of Ridiculously Easy Group Forming. Not done yet, but thought I'd better throw out a link to avoid duplication of work.
