Blogconversation #2

The topic-based model (RidiculouslyEasyGroupForming and the BlogThreading models have different strengths and weaknesses.
They are both good, they aren’t the same.
Topics are great for aggregate blogs that assemble posts about coffee shops, Austin events, or other specific subject.
Threadneedle is better for aggregating a human conversation, whose topic meanders under a named thread.
A topic-focused blog won’t get you a human conversation (that would be ai-complete). A human conversation won’t get you a subject-organized index (not without editing after the fact).
